There have been problems that only show when you select particular
map tiles before. You could select any one tile and it would work,
whereas selecting two or three might work or not depending on which
tiles you picked. Is that is what is happening?

I would guess that it is a problem with the index and the changes that
affected the index in the version range you mention are: 2169 2176,
2210 and 2306.

So far you have the latest version that works is 2274 and the earliest
version that fails is 2316 - is that right? If you have time to try
more then r2210 and r2306 would be good ones to try.
