Awesome!
I had not realized that you tested it that extensively. Ok, I think that sums it up. Going from frequent CTDs to none out of 15 is enough evidence for me. I will begin working on a fix for the whole map. It will take a little while though(probably a day or two) for me to do it. What the .tga needs is very tedious work(I am talking pixel by pixel out of 1080X540 pixels).
What I think is the problem, is even after I redid W_clear's climatezones.tga several months ago to fix the wide spread CTDs, I did not think anything about two climate zones touching each other that were not sequential. In other words, right now, it is possible to go from one climate zone, to another which is actually 2 steps away(for example from arctic to tropical in one jump). The reason I left it like that, is because it did not cause me to CTD(which it still doesn't, and never has nor does it cause W_clear to CTD). But, it would make sense that some folks' computers(hardware setups) may have a problem with this happening.
