The civclient sometimes continuously pops up connection dialog boxes after being
disconnected (i.e. from a civserver crash).  I mentioned this in my previous
PR#1477, but was unable to reproduce the error.  I've since figured out how.

See savegame kenn3.sav.gz in incoming.  Join game as kenn.  Keep the message
window open.  In the Jericho city, disable the CMA (otherwise the client will
crash with a CMA error too soon).  Hold the Enter key down (for Turn Done) until
around 1931.

Then, the civserver should crash, and the client continously tries to connect,
and prints "Lost connection to server" lines in the text area of the client, and
pops up many "Connection to Freeciv Server" dialog boxes.  The only way I've
found to stop it is to press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace within the first 30 or so of
them.. otherwise they lock up the whole system.  If debugging is on, the client
spits out the following lines:

2: lost connection to server
2: error in select() return=-1 errno=9 (Bad file descriptor)
2: lost connection to server
2: error in select() return=-1 errno=9 (Bad file descriptor)
2: lost connection to server
2: error in select() return=-1 errno=9 (Bad file descriptor)
2: lost connection to server
2: error in select() return=-1 errno=9 (Bad file descriptor)

I'm using cvs from May 17, Red Hat 7.2, Gnome+Ximian.
