hmm... in my case the crashing map has version 0.81
a newly saved map has version 0.79

so i guess there is some other problem that caused those maps being stored with future version numbers.

i vote to close this bug. wont fix. we should nevertheless investigate how this could have happened.

no idea where the 0.81 came from :(

Got the following when running test-games-nox on beta4 codebase
