I have an issue where I keep crashing to the desktop due to an unhandled error.

To reproduce:
install civ iv
install bts
intall bts patch from firaxis site (v3.03)

Load "Next War" mod
Start new game as Koreans with others as default settings
Build city first turn (not sure if this makes a difference)
Hit F12
Click on BTS section of civilpedia
Click on Espionage
In this civilpedia entry there is a line that has all the buildings that create espionage points (something like "...courthouse, jail, palace, ... kremlin..."
Click on each of these items in order - start with the first one (e.g. courthouse), then click 'back', then click the second one (e.g. jail), and so forth. I have not gotten past the 3rd items in the list, and sometimes it happens on the first item I click in the list, before the game crashes.

If Firaxis actually reads these bugs, I can post the complete stack trace log, (i.e. the temp log created by civ) if desired.

I am curious if anyone else can reproduce this issue or if it is specific to me? Also, if there is a reason and/or fix for this problem?

TIA
 
No need to post more specifics - this is a known bug introduced by the 3.03 patch (which is terribly bugged), I guess they'll correct that in the new patch which is supposed to be out in a few weeks...
The only way to fix it now is to uninstall BtS, reinstall and apply only the 3.02 patch, since the 3.03 did not do anything good for most people that might be worth it, the reason for this bug by the way is that they accidentally compiled the 3.03 patch from the wrong code, why they did not put out a corrected 3.04 patch to make that good though is beyond me...
