Sabatour??? Crew member causing CTD; Not a joke!!

[Wulfmann]

I have two PCs. One has never CTD ever. The other has constant CTD problems with SH3. I replaced the X800 and still CTD (yeah, you would think the bigger PC would be the better, but not for SH3).
The only thing different between them was the Audigy Sound Blaster 2 sound card.
I removed that and, have no idea why, but no CTD.

Until the traitor showed his ugly face!

This was a 1942 start career so the only Chiefs (2)added were 150 rated. All others were 200
I was half way through a patrol when I went to trade out the tired command room. I put the chief in the radio position and CTD.
I had to start the patrol over, I hate that, but this time I saved the game before doing this again.
Same deal, CTD.
Restart and this time used anyone but the two 150 added chiefs, No problem. Try the chief, CTD

So, I added the entire data folder from My Documents with this career to the older smaller PC that never has a problem and it also CTD when I tried this.
Went back to the bigger PC and docked at Brest and dismissed these two traitors (They were shot at dawn!!!)

While I am perplexed as to my Sound Audigy card causing a CTD problem (not with any other game) I can not guess why these interlopers could sabotage my Boat.
The 2 problems are unrelated, the least I understand on this

Have you had this problem? Anyone, anyone???
