started a new game in a elemnterra2 generated map size 10x8 20 start 10 ai 3 continents 4 islands 12 shards played to turn 305 and had oom crash

zip created, added saves & dxdiag

and here is the last 13 lines in the error.dbg before the unallocated memory lines during the crash

assuming I am reading the map size correctly the map is actually a 10x8 map, so smaller than the max 32bit map size of 12 x 8 and guessed map size when creating in elementerra 2
