If you examine a debug log of the turn generation you can figure out what province is causing it and reduce the forces there or eliminate the battle entirely in most cases.

There was an old bug where it happened in fortress battles that they fixed, every one I've traced since has turned out to simply be large armies, especially of larger creatures that don't pack multiple creatures per square.
Thanks, it's happening constantly now--probably because my armies are huge. How do I access the debug log?
You run the turn generation with -ddd (I don't know how many d's you need to see the relevant information, the more d's the more detail) on the command line. You'll find a logfile in the directory, with difficulty you can find where the problematic battle occurred.

If you're not seeing any battles (as your next message indicates) then it's probably between AI's and that would be very problematic to solve. I've been forced to abandon games because I couldn't change the battle.
