#517 Aleph One crashes when choosing a solo script
Using Windows XP, Intel Celeron 2.7Ghz CPU, Intel Extreme Graphics 64MB video card. Using Aleph One 0.23.1. When I go to the solo script option in Environment and look for a file to select, when I scroll aleph one will crash. I have a lot of files in my AlephOne-20100218/ directory, about 41 files and folders of maps and scripts i have added in addition to the Aleph One files and the scenario files (such as Maps and Images). I have noticed that if i take out a lot of files and then go to scroll for a file under select a solo script, Aleph One will not crash. I have also reinstalled Aleph One a few times and tested it with a lot of files in the directory and it still crashed. Thank You.

Crash file
The crash appears to be happening in the system time formatting function. Do any of your files have weird creation/modification times? Can you narrow it down to which file is causing the problem?
Ok, i figured it out. Yes I do have a file with a weird modification date. It is the Gladiator Netmap Pack from Simplici7y. The modification date doesn't even show up in my windows explorer and when I look at its properties it says it was modified on January 10, 1932. I tried selecting a file in Aleph One without the Gladiator file and it did not crash. I tried another Aleph One with only the Infinity scenario files and the Gladiator netmap pack file and it did crash when I went to select a file from the solo script selection menu. That file was the problem. Thank you, Treellama!
The next version should handle weird modification dates OK. Please re-open if that is not the case.
