SPR tag bug????

Hi, I have made a few tweaks to the GC, notably the addition of Montenegro as a starting one-province nation, occupying Kosovo. For it, I have used the free SPR tag. Everything works fine (sometimes for up to thirty years, SPR makes friends, joins alliances etc) unless or until it gets annexed (by Turkey, at least, which regularly tries, other nations have not). The game either crashes shortly after its annexation or for sure at the next autosave. It is impossible to save the game and not crash to desktop at any point after its annexation. I have tried saving just before, under different file names, etc, in order to isolate the cause of the bug. The odd thing is that the "faulty" autosave file looks fine except that SPR still appears as a war participant even though it has been annexed (might that be the bug, that the file is saved but that the game is stuck with data it can't deal with when the save process ends and the game resumes? I can't pinpoint when the bug occurs but for sure after trying to save I cannot continue playing, even for a gameday). AS well, during the game running smoothly, SPR develops a relationship towards itself according to the savefile, is that normal? Anyhow, I will remove the country (historical purists may be will rejoice!?!). Has anyone else had difficulty using this tag? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong or is this a freak coincidence??? Thx for the help

I don't think the SPR tag is bugged, except that it doesn't seem to revolt (if I remember correctly). At a guess, I would say that you have an ID conflict in your 1492.inc file. No two clauses may have the same type and id; if they do the game will crash sporadically. My little EU Validator tool is able to detect most (but not all) such conflicts.
