Game freezes (on calculating research?)

ToW v1.50B, the game consistently hangs after the US turn in the Autosave. The cursor freezes and the game does not respond. I've tried waiting for 10mins without change.
If I alt-tab to desktop and back, the screen turns black.

The last line on the (attached) ConsoleOut is "Calculating research..."

3 warnings in the consoleout:
"WARNING: fleet Fleet #95 (at node 27) wants to go to node 3 but there's no path
WARNING: fleet Fleet #96 (at node 27) wants to go to node 4 but there's no path
WARNING: fleet Fleet #97 (at node 27) wants to go to node 73 but there's no path"
However, if I change the location of the fleets to were they want to go (eg change fleet #95 from node 27 to node 3 in the fleet.csv)the message disappears but the game still hangs with the same last line in the log.
So that might be a red herring.

Hope this helps; let me know if anyone has any ideas how to fix it.

..and never mind. this is the issue described in a previous thread:

Same solution: just click the mouse button even though the pointer is frozen.
