I tested out capital.sav but couldn't find now.sav.  BTW: how do you 
download an attachment from jitterbug?
This could be happening because the data isn't being initialized 
properly/at all, but I don't think the LOAD_MAP_DATA patch changed this. 
 Or it could be unavoidable, since data that's truly required isn't 
present in the savegame.  This saved file is over 2 years old...
What happens if you build freeciv without debugging and run it?  You may 
get quite unpredictible behavior, but it could work.
