Default Multi Player Game Start Failing WORK AROUND !!

I tried several different things to fix the problem.
I even uninstalled and re installed the game.
I tried with fewer systmes and it still died.

But I have discovered a work around to the problem.

Each time I would setup a new game I would pick the number of sectors and type of universe and then generate the map.
Sometimes I would even put in some starting locations.
But each time I would go to place the players the programed would die.
One time I did not genetate the map and skipped to the add empires stage.
That time when I clicked begin game I got a Generating map window.
Then the Placing players window popped up..
AND IT DID NOT DIE !!!!
The game went on and sent the player info and we were playing a new game !!!

I tried starting another new game.
If one does NOT generate a map before adding the empires the game works.
If one Does generate a map and then adds the empires the Game will die trying to place the players.

This is with the latest patch 1.58 reinstalled.
I am using a modded system with upto 230 systems in the huge universe.
SO were do I report this BUG???
