Made it oh-so-slightly into game, but enough to remember the original.
Installed ufoai-2.1.1-win32_hotfix2.exe
Athalon 64 3000+
xp sp2
Game starts, super easy mode, build first base, start research on laser weap. go to hire screen, begin to review soldier profiles.
Reviewed 2 successfully, click on third => instant crash. No dialog box or other messages. System still runs as normal after ufo goes away.
Unfortunately pastebin is on the fritz right now. Please accept my apology in advance for posting ufoconsole.log data here. I've only posted "interesting" items by my inexperienced opinion.
