  Was this with or wothout this commit:
Date : 2004/9/10 21:20:53
Author : 'jdorje'

...

- Move the is_ascii_name check into is_allowed_player_name and
   is_allowed_city_name.  This means that the server will not suggest a
   name that cannot be used.
- Allow a name taken from the ruleset to be used, even if is_ascii_name
   won't pass it.

...


  I guess that it was possible that city_name_suggestion() always 
returned illegal name (player had only illegal ones left but no 
fallbacks were used) and handle_unit_build_city() failed because of this.
