One blatant bug in SimEarth:

When you run out of fossil fuel or atomic fuel, the efficiency of using them
should go to zero.  However, they don't.  So you can go on creating Energy
from nonexistent fuel, ignoring messages about running out fuel when they
appear on your screen.

I've had the game crash on me several times, but I can't reproduce it.  I'm
running it on a Mac II with 6.0.5, no multifinder, lots of inits.  It's hard
to reproduce so I haven't bothered tracking it down.
