I checked what I could think of. Lets hope it is fixed by the patch I
sent (Even though I don't think it was the same bug).

Just one thing: was it an explorer that entered the hut? Might be some
bug related to the fact that it has no homecity, and then the server
tried looking up the homecity anyway (though the code for this looked ok,
one of the things I checked)
