Loading doesn''t seem to end

I've got the following problem:

When I fly into one of my new jump holes (old system into new system), when the screen turns white (normally the time, loading begins) the sound is played over and over again, but the white does never disappear. I've launched a server to look at the console, but neither the FLServer console nor the FLSpew log register an error. They once did, it said it was trying to load a few nebula files, which, like it turned out, I had spelled wrong. That error corrected, I tried it again, but didn't get any messages. But the nebula error messages prove that it reads through the INI. So I thought that maybe the unusual number of objects (around 650 to be exact) made FL crash, but then again, I entered an earlier version of the system without problems, and the objects were all in then.

Any ideas?

Probably a Zone problem. Tricky buggers to find and squash, sometimes. My suggestion: use a modded OpenSP (my Alternative OpenSP's good for this) to place a starting player in the System elsewhere with uber ship, and then zip over to the area outside that Jumpgate and observe the crash.

Now, it might be I have made an error modifying the OpenSP mod (what values do I haver to change there in order to alter the starting base?) or this system is really messed up. Now it crashed at the loading screen, when I start a new game...
