[FIXED B1115.8] Loading save file causes error

When I load the following save file, taken about an hour and a half (game time, not real time) into the second scenario of the Desert Storm campaign (Thin Red Line, I believe, is the name of the mission), it gives me the following error:

ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Once I get this error, it basically locks up the whole program and I have to exit CMO from the task manager.

Same, when I tried to load a save in the editor. https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4718009

Checked this now.

There was a problem in how the message log was written out to disk, in that if an error happened while one of the messages was being saved, the rest of the scenario object graph could be left in a "dirty" state, which causes the re-loading problem.

Fixed for the next update.

If anyone critically needs a save restored, please ping me and I'll do everything possible to repair it manually.

Thanks, and sorry!
