Continued EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors

Despite patch 1.01 SST continues to be plagued by severe stability issues for me. Later missions (especially after Mission 18) almost routinely crash every few turns with the dreaded EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error message. The error always gets triggered during the AI movement phase.

With a lot of patience and a mounting sense of frustration I made it to the last mission (#31), which is the first one I am absolutely not able to complete. The game always hangs after I end my first turn in that mission and the program exits with the above mentioned error message after displaying the "Hidden Movement" screen for a few minutes.

I have installed the game on two completely distinct machines. My desktop running Windows 7 64 bit and a notebook running XP SP3 with the same behavior on both machines.

I have to say, it is beyond me how a product with quality issues this significant can make it to release (clearly I'm not the only one getting these error messages).

Any help for how I could work around this would be much appreciated.
