Default random events bug !!

I'm around turn 80 now, and have 2 planets go BOOM within 2 turns.
Strange thing about this - I set events too "high/high" .. so unstable planets breaking apart shouldn't happen as this is a "catastrophic" event (literally).
Found this mentioned 2 times on this forum but never confirmed as a bug (but I'm pretty shure about it!!!) .. but did anyone tell MM already ??

I don't suppose one of the AIs has got a cloaked planet buster in your system?

If it was a random event, then you got a message saying they were going to explode, right?

Nope .. checked through all the AI players, noone has something like that .. and even than the planets would go *BOOM*, but I wouldn't get the "core instability detected"-message !!!

Besides, any AI would have had troubles getting through the mines inone piece

It's definitly a bug it is !

(!&$%§! .. I accidently deleted the savegame before I attached it to the message to MM .. started new game, maybe it will show again ...)
