[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12713) Crash on Windows 98 Build (running Windows ME) - Is anyone testing this platform?

This bug is the same one I reported in beta 6. It still exists in RC 1:

PR#12000

 >This one seems to happen in one of 3 different ways, but always starts

 >window, the client will either shut down without warning, shut down with
 >a message saying it has encountered an error in CMDCTL32.DLL or shut

I realize that WinME is not a popular platform with developers, but I 
never even got a response beyond the auto responder last time, and this 
bug still exists. If this bug is in the production release it's unlikely 
I'll continue playing Freeciv, which is a shame, because I really like 
it and prefer it to the proprietary versions. If I knew anything of C 
code, I'd dive in and try and find it myself, but I don't have the 
knowledge, or for that matter the time. Could someone please take a look 
at this?

I've attached a recent saved game from just before the crash. I can 
typically restart the game after a crash and keep going for several turns.

To update what happens this one said 'civclient has caused an error in 
User.exe. civclient will now close'

I was unable to find a .rpt file. If there's somewhere different I 
should be looking, please let me know.
