It looks like the localization bug we already had on xml files, I don't know if you remember...

When we write the save files (with printf), the current locale is used. For example, the number "1234.5" can be written:

1234.5
1234,5
1'234.5
1,234.5 etc.

The XMl library is quite "stupid", since only "english" numbers are understood. There are several solutions :

1) read and write files with the current locale (but : it is not possible to read a file writtent in another computer).
2) read and write files with "C" locale

The current "bug fix" is a dirty hack, since... no more decimal numbers are written in the file

Actually the foult is not given when I load the game but when I go to the next week (space). (I saved my game at week 49, it's a new season too)

the problem wasn't the locale (that's been worked around already). i was doing a %-operation with a negative integer.

the bug should be corrected in the cvs now. i've also made a new revision, so if you're using the source package, you can use bygfoot-update to fix the bug.

thanks to ken brush who not only found the bug but also sent me a fix.
