1.0.4.4 random freezes

I'm uploading a couple of autosaves from some recent freezes.
Two of them are from a random freeze I had the other night where it just started to hang out of the blue. I let it run for a while to see if it would unfreeze and it did become somewhat responsive a couple of times. As in it responded to clicks I had made 15-20 minutes before. It also managed to do an autosave during the freeze which I included as well. After reloading the autosave from during the freeze, my economy was flipped into the red from before the freeze.
The third file is the last autosave I have before freezing during a planet invasion. It appears to have happened after unloading all of the troops and about at the point where the planet should have flipped over to me.
One reason I left it running during the freeze is that there was high CPU activity and I could see it was doing something. The planet invasion freeze is more of a hang though as there's no CPU activity at all and it's doing nothing.
Lastly, with the first game's two autosaves, I cannot load a game if I've already been playing. It gives a not enough memory message. I have to exit DW completely and then restart it to load an old game.

I just uploaded another save of the invasion issue. This time just before the invasion began. And, of course, it hung.

And on a bizarre note, I stopped the assault, sent all the ships to the nearest starport for refueling, removed most from the fleet and set them to auto. I changed settings from suggest attacks to control manually and went off to do some exploring that wouldn't hang the game.
A while later I get a message that I've gained a new ability from conquering the planet I had aborted the assault on. I rush to see it and there's a single destroyer that had dropped off a troop and taken it over. I'll upload a copy of the save just after this happened. The only save I have prior was the one I already uploaded.

Also of note in the more recent saves is a construction ship (Charming Odyssey) stuck retrofit at QW861. It's been there for a few game years in game without budging. And is still at 75% in 2776.

Thanks for these savegames. This issue is resolved in the final version of 1.0.4

This retrofit issue is resolved in the final version of 1.0.4. Thanks for the report.

I'm uploading a set of three autosaves.
The first occurred a few minutes before the game hung. I'm defining a "hang" as game's not doing anything, but shows high CPU activity where a freeze is no CPU activity. Since something was going on, I flagged the last two autosaves and went to bed to see if it would unfreeze by the time I woke up.
The second and third autosaves occurred several hours later while the game was still visibly frozen. Autosaves were set to 45min, but still took hours to happen. I finally killed it when I woke up.
[Edit] And you posted it was resolved as I was writing that I uploaded new saves during a hang... At least I think you meant this issue and not the invasion freeze one. (unless they're related) [:)]
