I got the message "Cannot attack alfonso: you have no contact with the
Portugese" or some such when trying to move my howitzer into a city.  Sure
enough, the players dialog lists the Portugese as no contact.

Although I haven't looked at the source, I'll wager that the reason this
happened is that Alfonso & Co. had just been created as rebels after I captured
the Roman capital, and that Freeciv forgot to check if I might be "in touch"
with the Portugese right after they were created.

I have a savegame which exhibits the problem (~ 50k, bz2) if that helps.
