I built the wonder again, on a large and complicated game. This time the
client crashed, and displayed on the server (these messages might be from
much earlier, I don't know)

I just put my savegame at
http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/student/cjmorlan/freeciv/apollo.sav.gz

Note: when I rejoined I could see the entire map, as expected. My computer

I have the problem (but it's still a bug that should be fixed).
