Hotseat Query - Why is the map revealed?

[MidKnight Lament]

This is taken from a thread I created in AC_General, but no one there seems to have an answer.

We were about 20-30 years into a SMAC hot-seat game, and all of a sudden we could see each others' maps. Not the whole world this time, just each others'. However, the map I could see of hers was actually some turns old, and neither of us could see each others units on the map - just terrain and bases. These maps haven't updated themselves at all (we've expanded a fair bit more since), but if mind worms are active in each others' maps, we can see them. And no, we didn't exchange maps, but it was as if we had.

I've also previously had a problem with the whole map revealing itself from the start of a hotseat game, but this was rectified by installing to the Default directory.

Any ideas on this one?

Nobody??

Has anyone had problems in a Hotseat (or even PBEM) game with the map revealing itself?
