ALright, some more information.  I'm using the Revelation map, I think.  I 
forget.  :)

Anyway, here's one thing that's happening, resulting in a segfault.  I moved 
several pieces up next to a light tank.  The first two pieces knocked him 
down to nothing, but the piece remained on the map.  When the next attacker 
on that piece showed up to resolve his attack (which it shouldn't do, 
right?), the map recentered somewhere else and showed me in the dialog for 
resolving the fight a ghosted-white version of the light tank icon.  It 
continued to resolve the attack.  When it was next my turn, and I got the map 
to look at, the light tank had turned into a barracks.  When I click on the 
barracks, segfault.  I suspect that this is the same bug causing different 
symptoms at seemingly random intervals, but what do I know?  ;)

Here's the message in gdb at the point the segfault happened:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0805410e in Game::HandleLMB(Point const&) (this=0x80a0aa0, hex=@0xbffff58c)
    at game.cpp:1235
1235    }

Here's the backtrace, if it's useful at all:

#0  0x0805410e in Game::HandleLMB(Point const&) (this=0x80a0aa0,
    hex=@0xbffff58c) at game.cpp:1235

#6  0x40241c57 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

Next, I typed 'up' in gdb, and here it is:

#1  0x080bb618 in ?? ()

If there's anything else I can do to track this down, let me know.

There's got to be more to life than compile-and-go.
