Crash while simming - strange msg

Running with patch 6.01 on Win98, 128MB, 25GB free HD, AMD 533.

Loaded Lahman 5.1 rosters for 1950. Simmed month of April - all teams on computer control. In mid-April get a popup with an unintelligible character string (the popup is just like if you have a human controlled team and there an e-mail, injury, trade offer) followed by the option to stop simming or continue. If I select the option to stop the sim the game crashes to desktop with a runtime error. Cannot restart OOTP without system reboot - attempts to do so without reboot result in a runtime error. If I select the option to continue, the game keeps simming as if nothing occurred. The same message came up in mid-May, same results. I'm now in August with no further occurrences.

The unintelligible character string goes along the entire width of the OOTP screen.

Anyone else see this or know what causes this?
