If the numbers/threads/strings don't match up over all three files, then it will crash.
I'm using XP home edition from 4 or so years ago, all the current updates, etc. etc.

I just re-tried to install the new quotes by manually deleting the original three files and installing the new three files in their stead and I'm still getting my original problem - the game will crash at the loading screen every other time I start it; but when it doesn't crash, I can see the new quotes just fine.

Perhaps it's a compatibility error with other add ons?

I'm using EB v 1.2 (not BI) with phalanx_mod_v1.2, EB-vanilla-sea mod, the "scriptfixes12", and "sprites12" patches.

For now I am just not going to use the new quotes; but kudos to the author of the patch!
