That was with unpatched Feb 1 cvs.  I also tried with Feb 7 cvs.  It
took many tries, and the error only occurred once.  With Feb 7 cvs, it
was dialogs.c:2048 instead of 2064.

The latest time, I was the Chileans the first game.. can't remember what
nation I picked when starting the second game (I always use the random
nation that is chosen).  I loaded the autosave from the turn before I
died, and was not able to produce the error when I connected to the
second civserver (tried with various nations).

No sound:
2: No real audio plugin present, Proceeding with sound support disabled
2: For sound support, install either esound or SDL_mixer
2: Esound: http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html
2: SDL_mixer: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/index.html

I'll let you know if I can figure out how to reproduce the error.
