OK, I do not know what you are going to make out of it, but I hope it will help.

So, I was playing an FF game using Malakim+ Rerelease modmod, with the Malakim. Everything well, until, near turn 185 the game starts CTDing. After I test it 5 times, and see the CtD is unrecoverable,(last autosave 4 turns before-reboot,reload, etc) I say, "alright, lets get a save game at the turn just before the CtD and post it at the Forum". I do, so. I verify that it still crashes(3 times).
I think, "well, lets enter the worldbuilder, first, to see if I can figure it out on my own". I enter the Worldbuilder, take a look around, press a few buttons, exit the worldbuilder.
I retest the game, I DOOES NOT CRASH ANYMORE!.
I say, "this is not possible!I did nothing!". I quit, reload, end turn, No crash.
I reboot, reload, end turn, No crash!

I come here, and write this post. So, any thoughts?
 
Does entering the WB reset random seed?

I think that the random seed shouldn't have anything to do with it, since I had tested the crash from 4 turns before 5 times, after a reboot, after saving between turns, etc.
I had also tested it, and verified, that it crashes from the save right before the crash.
In addition, after I left the wordbuilder, as I said, I quit (once), to make sure the seed was not the issue(I hadn't saved after the exit from the worldbuilder, so the save game wouldn't have an altered seed). And then I rebooted my PC. Same effect...
