UPDATE: I just ran three AI vs AI tests of a 30-turn scenario, while online with Outlook Express minimized so it could get messages, and had NO "out of synch" stoppages at all.
The only thing I've changed on my machine was to install a fresh game from v5.1, then upgraded to v7, and copied all Oob's to my other games to be sure they were uniform.

I got it playing Santa's Train scen. I was connected to the internet with Eudora and ICQ connected and doing their thing. It was far into the game, maybe turn 15 or so. Not continuously played though, I had saved once, exited and came back after a few hours. It was a total lock and I had to alt-tab out and close SPWaW with task manager. Oh yeah, I am running ME also.

In playing MC-DF I've had the sync problem apear
at least a half dozen times. I do have a LAN card and Hub connected, but I havn't yet connected all my computers. However, the problem occurs when playing with just the main computer on.
I'm running WIN98 SE on an Compaq with an Athlon 500mhz processor with 192mb of ram.
This problem did not happen after getting the 7.0 beta patch for an earlier glitch, only after I installed the 7.0 patch downloaded from Matrix Games. Unfortunately I deleted the 7.0 beta patch and can't reinstall it to see what would happen.
Looking forward to having this problem fixed!
