Races -> Report randomly crashes when you look for enemy spies

Happens quite frequently when you report on one of the seven other races one after each other when looking for enemy spies.
I always play impossible 8 players vs computer. Normally with a custom race. 'Lithotols'.
Take Silicoid and modify to:
Lithovore
Tolerant
Low-G
spying penalty
ground combat penalty.
With no food or pollution to clean up it's a nice one for early land grabs with easier ability to do diplomacy and better population growth than the original.
I always take Evolutionary Mutation in the research path and modify the ground combat with the 4 points.
That way it gets easier to board and capture Antaran ships for techs and do ground combat later on.
Game is always better if you get the Omni Leader - Kronos iirc and Psilons are in the game too to get all the techs.

Do you get a crash message?
Something like "Mark Block Stack Size Exceeded"
If that is the message you get, then its very likely solved in 1.50 patch
