[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#12849) Client crash, 2.0.0 Win32 - science dialog?

Just tried playing through with 2.0.0beta2, and got the same crash.

First, though, I got a non-fatal dialog-box hiccup of the sort described
in PR#12252. (Attached 2_0_0_beta2_wobble.png.)

Then, within a couple of turns, the science dialog appeared, with the
same sorts of faults (see 2_0_0_beta2_crash.png), and I got a
similar-looking crash to the ones reported previously in this PR. (See
below.) So I think this is quite likely to have the same root as
#12252.

Could it be a resource leak? IIRC Win9x has particularly low numbers
of various sorts of resources (typically 16384?). If every control
drawn in the game takes up one and doesn't free it (*waves hands*, I
don't entirely know what I'm talking about), then trouble could ensue.
I could imagine this not showing up on modern Windows (e.g., XP).

Last save file from the server was 750BC.
