[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Borders patch

[Stewart Adcock <stewart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, I can observe this bug (or set of bugs) too.  Since I wrote the 
original patch, it is probably my fault.  This is a new bug introduced 
by one of the many CVS updates since that patch was written.
There are now three distinct bugs that I know about and can reproduce. 
I will have no time to fix them before the end of February, although I 
am eager to do this.  As a quick fix, play using an older CVS snapshot ;)
