        By "whenever" I take it you mean under all circumstances. I can't 
reproduce this bug with brief testing with latest CVS (GTK+ isometric or 
Xaw client, server with standard options, one human player). Could you be 
more specific?

        Both this crash and the client crash reported by Paul seem to be 
caused by the generalised improvements code that Vasco committed yesterday 
and today. However, it is very different from my original code, so it's 
entirely possible that the changes have introduced bugs. Can you reproduce 
these crashes with the original impr-gen patches "effect-init-v2.patch" 
and "effect-implement-v2.patch" against CVS of Jan 8th? (They obviously 
won't apply against current CVS.) The patches are available at 
http://freecivac.sourceforge.net/ or alternatively as PR#1140 and PR#1142. 
If so, then I will investigate further.
