The actual 'bug' here is the fact that only those with shell access
to civserver.freeciv.org can correct this situation, using a quite
arcane procedure (you have to echo a /quit command to the end of
the right civserver.in file).  Actually, 5556 was hung, too, in
'gave over' status with 0 players.  Both are now free for use again.
