Race File Corruption:
If you edit the race name in a race file can cause the file to become corrupt. This is especially common when making the race name shorter than before. To get around this, when editing the race name, either edit it one letter at a time (saving and re-opening each time) or copy the race data into a new file by hand.

Does this tip need to be updated for the newbies here?
This does not seem to be the accurate/easiest solution. Edit one letter at a time and save and reopen. Using the above method, to change the race name from "Humanoid" to "Robotoid" would take a lot of saves and reloads.
NOT! Only takes one save on my system. You know why?
