[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Dangerous Danger (PR#914)

[Andy Roberts <etrigan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it's not a savegame, but it is the ruleset for the game that kept
crashing with the helicopter. Sorry, I got confused about what you wanted
by the time I got home.
If you can't make it happen, I'll send you the savegame, and you can see
it that way.

Basically, it goes like this: as quick as you can, with this ruleset and
the 1.12.0 freeciv engine, begin building a helicopter, then buy it. As
soon as the game gets around to putting the helicopter "token" on the
board, it'll crash, the server with dump core, and you'll see the
"dangerous Danger2 in <cityname> [-xxxxxx]" message (it's something like
that) - sometimes there are several of these error messages for a bunch of
different cities.

You guys are great! Thanks for bringing back such a great classic game and
continuing it...
