Great, so maybe it's just 8.1 that should be avoided.  The message
is almost certainly not due to tcl versions.  I'm guessing you had a
unit in a minefield that was cleared (those should be very hard to
deal with, but I don't see a protection rule in gazala.g, sigh),
but I tried it myself and didn't get a warning.  The message itself
is purely a sanity check and shouldn't affect gameplay, but the next
time you see it, if you could save the game right after OKing and
dismissing the warning, and mail me the file, I would certainly
appreciate it!
