USA savegame bug still not fixed in 1.03b???

I installed the 1.03b patch today (Strat First/US version), played the 1939 scenario until Nov. 1940, saved.

When I reloaded, USA is Paternal Autocrat and F.D. Roosevelt is no longer head of government, but still head of state.

I noticed this bug in 1.03 before, I thought this was supposed to be fixed?!

Aaaargh... Dammit. it did slip through.

Ok here we go:

It only occurs when saving and loading the 39 scenario?

It occurs when saving and reloading the 1939 and the 1941 scenario, regardless what country I'm playing.

In the 1936 scenario however saving/reloading works without problems.

I also noticed that FDR's cabinet in 1936 was listed as Centrist on the diplo screen, whereas in both 1939 and 1941 it was listed as Reformed Socialist before reloading. Could this be the problem?

Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

I have tried editing the scenario file but there does not appear to be a parameter for ideology and and government type...

Govt. type is set by the ministers. In the 1936 scenario files there seem to be no governments defined so I'm not sure how they are being set. In the 1939 and 1941 scenario files for most countries there are governments defined.

But where? I don't see 'em?

In scenarios\1939\usa.inc for example:
headofstate = { type = 9 id = 6001 }
headofgovernment = { type = 9 id = 6001 }
foreignminister = { type = 9 id = 6002 }
armamentminister = { type = 9 id = 6003 }
ministerofsecurity = { type = 9 id = 6034 }
chiefofstaff = { type = 9 id = 6042 }
chiefofarmy = { type = 9 id = 6044 }
chiefofair = { type = 9 id = 6046 }

These lines do not exist in scenarios\1936\usa.inc.
(Ministers are defined in db\ministers\usa_ministers.csv).

Ministers are all correct, government type is wrong... is that what the type = 9 parameter is about?

OK, I've looked into this a bit further. In usa.inc change the headofgovernment from id=6001 to id=6035. Roosevelt has two entries in the USA minister file: 6001 is for Head of State, 6035 is for Head of Govt.
