Your outline is possible, but as you say, unlikely.

Unless the problem can be reproduced (eg, with a savefile), 
I'm inclined to ignore it, and put it down to either an
unusual (but correct) case, or the server and client 
disagreeing on the foodbox size (due to a temporary 
incompatibility in the cvs version).

Well, I was thinking more of the AI choosing when to buy a 
settler to get maximum advantage, but maybe more power to 
the AI if it can/does.
