Can be reproduced placing 12 fighters vs 12 fighters on mission editor with 
player on one of the groups.
Note that placing the player in a 3rd group alone, with a diferent IFF from the 
other 2, game doesnt crash.

I think crash comes from overload from the message system. AI seems fine.

Sounds like a simple memory overflow of a fixed length array somewhere.

Should be fairly easy to fix once I'm familiar with that section of the code 
base.
