A crash in SMACX

[inglonias]

Whenever I try to add armor or a special ability to a colony pod as the Caretakers, the game crashes. This only applies for infantry chassis.
Also, when I make a unit using the workshop in the change production window, it also crashes.
Running Mac OS 10.4.9 and using classic to run the game
Mac mini G4 1.33 GHz
Can I get some help?

I replicated the crash with the addition of armor to colony pod. This occured both by accessing the workshop in the production screen and through the general menu. I was able to make a trance scout in the workshop in the change production window without crashing. Just before the crash, the line indicating the number of turns to construct units/facilities/secret projects became squiggles. I think there is some kind of overflow occuring. Also running 10.4.9 and using classic, but iMac G4 800 GHz.

I also replicated the crash under OS 9.2.2, so it is not OS X.

There was a subsequent thread where this problem arose in XP and was solved by replacing the ACOLPOD.cvr file with a copy of drop.cvr

The solution works for Mac.
