I believe this problem has been fixed.

I suspect this problem has been fixed as well.

Now, we're currently aiming to make a new release of Freeciv soon,
and some or all of these problems have been fixed.  If you'd
like to try it out, we'd appreciate the feedback.

You can find a daily snapshot of the most recent version here:

Please let us know how you go.
