Uploading the savegame failed somewhere. If you have it, can you also upload crash.dmp / crash.log?

I've tried two times adding all files, but they dont seem to get there. Any idea why not? By the way, it seems impossible to reproduce the error.

So you could "play" for few ticks after the autoreplace window broke?

I installed 0.7.1 and the mentioned grf, nothing else. No AIs (I get an error message once in a while statin no suitable AI), and I don't know if I could play a few ticks, since I was not at the computer when it crashed. Some windows were open, and when I returned with a fresh cup of coffee, program had chrashed, and nothing could be done. I expect it to have chrashed immediately, since no year-end savegame had been made, presuming it chrashed on 31st of december.

Maybe a race condition between the "saving" thread and sprite loader (both threads are reading files)?

I dont think this is save related. As I said, I had the "Replace train" window open, as I had quite a few other windows, like trains and industries viewports, maybe even a town or two, but the only indication of something wrong was missing and wrongly formatted trains in the top left table of "Replace train". Counters were missing, train names were right aligned, and one train was missing from the list. The train had not expired! It should have been there. I will keep an eye out for further sympthoms if this occurs again.

How much system memory do you have? Is it possible all of the physical memory was used by other processes?

I doubt memory is the problem. My computer has 2Gb memory, and was restarted not too long before the crash, no other big programs were running. But sure, it's Windows, so who could tell? Game had been running about one hour when the crash occured. But another thing indicate memory might be involved. Whenever I exit OTTD, it seems like all desktop icons must reload graphics, even after just a short game. My playing field is 512 X 1024. That should not bee to much? I noticed that stack had been wrongly set to 1kb, and now has been set to default 1 mb. Could the problem be related?

Setting the stack to 1 MB (first incorrectly to 1 kB) likely 'solves this bug' (read: work around something stupid in Windows).

It seems to be the same http://apocryph.org/2008/06/01/visual_c_apps_crashing_chkstk_under_load/ which says that under some circumstances Windows cannot provide more memory for the stack, which causes applications to crash when needing that extra memory on the stack.
