This bug started to annoy me, because it happens often. So I digged 
into it.

It looks for me that savegames are corrupt in a way I can't tell,
so you find your game not reloadable, and a lot of previous savegames
too :-( 

I've found a way to reproduce the savegame getting corrupt :)

Try this: http://www.enter.de/~c.knoke/bugs/dumbo.sav.gz

Login as chris. Move the caravelle 3 tiles NE, discovering the
spanish city of Valencia of size 1. Watch the barbarian musketeer
in front of Valencia's undefended gates. Move the Caravelle *out*
*of* *sight* of Valencia. Move the explorer SE. Save the game.
Reload the saved game, login as chris, start, crash boom bang.

Happy debugging,

Christian
