0000461: Crash when Dread Knights attack Wraiths from behind
Seems to be always reproducible, though strangely sometimes it happens only in the 2nd round.

Take my VCMI_Tests map (I think the latest version here on Mantis is attached to 0000327) and attack Wraiths with Septienna. Use Wait on your creatures so that Wraiths come closer, then attack. With Dread Knights, attack from behind. 3 times it crashed in the 1st round, another time it crashed in the 2nd round.

What is interesting is that it created two sets of .dmp files (the second set has a "2" at the end of the file name in the attached archive; can also be spotted by date)

It's a duplicate of 0000458, but I'm not sure why Dread Knight casted curse spell so often. The formula seems correct, so it you must have a lot of luck :).

Well, if the spell was the cause, it didn't try to cast it every time. I played the battle 7-8 times, but it crashed only the 4 times when I was attacking the Wraiths from behind, which led me to think it was the direction of the attack. But it seems that was just a coincidence.
