pbem game password problem

[PopskiPPA]

Using different compressing programs or sending the files uncompressed did not solve the problem.

But delaying the arrival of paradrops and glider landings by one turn made the problem appear one turn later. So I started a new pbem against myself on the same map. The turn after the paradrop/glider landings the password of player 2 was no longer accepted. The paras/gliders were russian. It didn't matter if the russians were played by player 1 or player 2, the password of player 2 was rejected.

So the problem seems to be associated with paras/gliders and/or the map.

Just ran a quick test:

August 1946, visibility 30, USSR vs USA, meeting engagement, random map 150*150

I bought in this order for Russia:

3* unit 200 G-11 Glider
1* formation 161 Para Company [A], last section deleted
8* unit 200 G-11 Glider
2* formation 43, unit 70 Guards Platoon
2* formation 100, unit 139 Horsa (Poland allied)
1* formation 4, unit 127 Guards Tank Co, last two sections deleted
1* formation 4, unit 294 Guards Tank Co, last two sections deleted

The first three glider stay empty to soak up AAA, the tanks go into the Horsas. All are plotted to land after turn 1 on the left side of the map. Entry top left corner, exit bottom left corner.
The turn after the landing player2s password is rejected.
Just repeated the test with the landings after turn 2, same result, password rejected after the landing.

I repeated this multiple times, every time the same result.

So it seems there is a problem with paras/gliders. I don't think it is faulty RAM or the harddisk because I can reproduce the problem.
How likely is it for faulty hardware to always affect the password of player2 and only after the landing of paras/gliders?
There was no transfer in the test game, so no corruption possible.

I'm attaching the turns of the test game.
password player1 russia
player2 usausausa
path in both cases D:\WinSPWW2
