You could probably just edit the file and delete the offending unit. Its
bogus coordinates (-1, -1) suggest that it was killed but apparently not
deleted before another unit was created with the same id. You should look
for something like:
(bomber -1 -1 1 (# 7) (in "Khulna") (nb 2) (hp 1) (cp 12) (m 36 3))
I can't tell what kind of unit this was but the numbers to look for are -1
-1 (the coordinates) and # 7 (the id). Try deleting this entry and make
sure the number of left and right parentheses you take out match. You
should of course back up the file first.
Hope this works. If not, email me the file and I'll see what I can do.
