Right city, wrong state

Since this appears to be a global issue, I'm listing this here rather than the historical database thread. This is something I noticed in v17 as well, and I have to think it's been reported before due to the sheer scope of the issue, but I couldn't seem to find a report of it, so here goes.

It appears that the birthplaces of many players are being displayed incorrectly. In all cases that I've encountered, if there is more than one city of the same name in a country, all players born in any city that has that name will show up with a birthplace of the same one -- e.g., every player born in a U.S. town called Springfield will show up with a birthplace of Springfield, Massachusetts, no matter which Springfield (there are 18 listed in OOTP's database) they were actually born in.
