   I got this a few days ago, I just didn't have time to report it.  I
_think_ it occurs when

a) player 1 founds a city at x,y
b) player 2 stumbles across city but leaves it (leaving it fogged)
c) the city at x,y is destroyed
d) player 2 comes back expecting to find the city, but the server croaks
     trying to update player 2 about the demise of the city

Or I could be completely wrong. :)
