Yes, I am indeed witnessing freezish behaviour, your patch still did not fix it,
I am however now able to tell you the exact position of the freeze, its:

connectdlg.c 614: while((!read(stdout_pipe[0],&c,1) || c!='>') &&
!responce_timeout_occurred){

the read never seems to get the results you expect from it. If I comment out
this line I dont get to see the savegame, but instead the freeciv-starting-logo.
When I choose one of your additional buttons it tells me something about me not
having the rights to issue this command, so I guess the problem is at the
server-side somewhere.
