Game freezes with USSR DoW against Yugoslavia

It is turn 79 (Dec. 9, 1943), and the USSR is advancing into Central Europe. Yugoslavia has been neutral throughout, but now the Russians want to declare war on Yugoslavia to conquer it and to open a route to Italy. But the game (Mac platform) freezes when the DoW is made. I cannot return to the "zoomed in" map, and units on the zoomed out map cannot be given orders. Any ideas? I can send someone the turn in question, to try it yourselves.

I found a workaround for this problem. After the freeze just described, I clicked on the button for purchasing units ($ icon), brought up the purchase screen, then clicked one button the left on the globe icon. This took me back to the map, with units ready to receive orders and with Yugoslavia an active belligerent.

Can you send the save game from the turn just before you DoW'ed Yugoslavia?

Bug found and fixed. :)

The reason was that Hungary was conquered and the code tried to spawn the reinforcements when Hungary was already conquered.

I added a check so the Hungarian units can't spawn if Hungary is conquered.

I added code so the Romania units won't spawn if Romania is ALLIES. I did the same for Bulgaria regarding Greece.
