Your patch fixes this problem.  Thanks.

(BTW, the behavior with Nukes was interesting.  It would decide that it
couldn't get to the target, go to an intermediate city of mine -- and
*explode*!!)

Even with your patch, they still try to follow railroads.  If they can't
get to their destination following railroads, they go striaght.  However,
if they can get there, they follow railroads.  I've never seen them waste
movement, so this may not be a big problem, but it looks really strange!
