[Freeciv-Dev] Re: crash in current CVS source

[Thue Janus Kristensen <thue@xxxxxxx>]

This is my full fog of war patch's fault. A fix exists but hasn't been
applied to CVS yet.
What happens is that the players map is allocated when he connects. so he
has a 80x50 map in this case. And then when you start on the big map you
try to access beoynd that.

As a workaround you can set xsize and ysize before connect or creating
any players.

Thanks for reporting the bug
