Sounds like they merged minor units with their majors ending up with a minor leader in their major leader pool.Happened to me a few weeks ago, and the German leader pool became buggy.
Never mess around with minors stacked with majors.

Single Malt Did you get a slow down? Has this been logged in the bug forum? If so let me know if you know the bug # so I can look it up on bugzilla.
Others, Does this seam like what may have happened?

Yes I had a slowdown. I was playing germany and accidently absorbed an lent unit into my force pool. Their leader joined my general staff, afterwards my leader pool became slow and finally unusable.
I assumed it was a known bug and did not log it.

I'm unsure what you mean by major and minor leaders. Are you talking about leaders for expeditionary forces?
If that's the case: I was conducting Barbarsossa. I had several Romanian, Italian etc. troops. When 'Bitter Peace' event occured, some of them might have ended up in the force pool due to annexation.

Hmm, Looks like we may be on to something here. Anyone that has a save hold on to it.
No he's referring to what happens when you 'create a new unit' by splitting off one division from an army. It' will be commanded by a lt. general from a generic pool of leaders AFAIK.
If it's true that the bug [!] appears because these generic leaders are later included in the leaderpool, then no wonder the list grows.
I can confirm that I use splitting and reassigning very frequently. And I did exactly so between april and may 1939 since that was when I had finished Poland and was reorganising to attack Holland.
The right solution would ofc. be to either take a leader for new units from the existing pool (if available) or to stop the generic ones from being added to the pool.
In any case it would be of much impotance to the gameplay since exactly the leaders with their special abilities adds much to the versatility (and history) to the game.
Sounds like it's a w9x caching issue to me (Buggy POS).
Anyone the load lag on W2K/XP PCs with 256+mb RAM ?
I only lag for a sec when loading the leader lists for the first time, after that they get cached in memory with the rest of HOI.
However the game window does get somewhat sloppy when I have the russian leader list open so I suppose there is somekind looping going on.

Same problem.
This is a bug. It has nothing to do with the speed of a system. I played the game for a week solid, and poof. This just popped up, ruining my game. I cannot change leaders. This is only for land units. I play Germany. I hardly want some zero skill dolt handling My new King Tigers While Von Kleist and Guderian sit in the pool. This and the disapearring units have disgusted me into not playing anymore. Play date is around 1943. I use Win XP. Athlon 1.2 GB Thunderbird. 512MB of DDR, 64MB Geforce 3. I have the savegame file. There is also a "database mismatch" error. I have no clue where this came from. If there is a related issue, I use paratroopers, with (Historically) Skorzeny, and Student in charge. I hope this gets fixed. Its no fun playing a new game for a week to have something like this happen.
This, I am dissapointed to say, is the second time Ive gotten a bum Strategy First produced product. The First was WW2 online. I won't be buying anything else with the SF logo on the box.

Borsig, As noted I have logged this bug.
Both the problems you mentioned have a work around until the next patch comes out.
The leader bug described here can be avoided by not mixing minor and major leaders.
The database mismatch is related to Paratroopers being loaded on transport planes when you save the game.
I know it is not ideal but we are working on the fixes to these problems.

What do you mean by not mixing minor and major leaders? Im not sure I understand? Is there a workaround so that you can resucue a current game? I am looking in my German leader DB file now, and, I dont see anything out of the ordinary. Hell the US has TWICE as many leaders.
Here is the post from singlemalt on the first page that describes the problem.
I doubt you could fix an already messed up save file but you may be able to avoid the same thing happening in the next game.

I dont understand how else I m supposed to give rommel, etc command of 6 PZ Div, if I dont merge them. Seems this is a big confusing mess.
Assign leaders to all the units you want to merge before doing the merge. That way you should be fine.
The problem comes from the minor or lent units joining the players army,not by merging your own national units
ie. 5 Italian div under 2 different leaders merge while under your control the extra General will go to your leader pool causing the bug.When you create new units always leave at least one minor Division in the old unit so it's leader stays on the map.
If you have a saved game befor your leader pool became unusable (just slow and twitchy) assign out all non player leaders back to their respective units ( ie the Italian generals back to the Alpini ect if playing Germany ) and your Leader pool should stablize.Unfortunatly you need to know the genaral's names for this to work.
Okay I will update the bug report.
So you are saying the problem is only when another nation gives you troops and then you reorganize those troops?
