Default SE4 ate my hard disk

Well not exactly, but pretty damn close.

[BTW: I got the retail Version and updated w/ the patch [1.11], so I think I'm running the latest and greatest edition.]

Since I wanted to try different things, I set it to "autosave every turn". Thereupon I played 3 games to about 70 or 80 turns each -- with many go-backs and do overs and such.

Imagine my surprise when I ran out of disk space. Between the ../history and ../savegame subdirectories I had over 8,000 files !!

Some of the files, of course were my (manual) saves, but most were of the type: "autosav1_tosav3_tosav3_tosav3_0_plr_1_stats.txt" .

Looks like a bug in the save logic to me, and I'm going to report it to MM directly... but y'all might want to check your files -- especially if it's been slow to load or save lately.
