Unfortunately freeciv doesn't have a good reporting in this area. To
resolve this problem please strace or ltrace to find out what is
causing it:

 strace -o out ./server/civserver ....

And then send me or the list (depending on the size) the file "out".

  What's bad about GUI is that you can only manipulate what you see.
