Oh no... another one of these... Could be ALOT of different things check for some obviuos things:
Invalid maps sizes
Invalid unit
Invalid disabling of doodads
Its just something you did in the last edit that is invalid. Now you have to find it. Makes it easier if you've been saving mutliple copies but it doesn't sound like it. Do you recall the last thing you edited before it crashed?

If your map crashes frequently check these things:
1. High Index colors (Player color) like 145 and 255. Stick with colors 0-17
2. Maps with illegal dimensions
3. Units placed off the edge of the map (buildings)
4. Placing sprites off the edge of the map.
5. Many sprites crash the game.
6. Illegal units may crash the game such as an Independant Command Center.
7. 2x speed tends to crash the map.
8. Showing the portrait for a unit that does not exist. (including mission breifing)
9. Many units crash the game when disabled.
10. Placing a tile index that doesn't exist.

Were you using SCM Draft? That save a backup file of your maps sometimes. Try looking for it in there.

Well... I do have another copy of my map, I started with a .scm while the one I was using is now .scx
But I changed it a long time ago... So the first copy is just the bare map outline pretty much...

Post your map if you don't know how to check for those things.

Ok, I found what the problem was and fixed it.
Thanks to all who helped me identify it, It was easy to fix once I found it.
