As mentioned, no, it isn't.

Ah.

The server crash happened at turn done time, *before* the server saved the
new state. So, many human steps are required, and I haven't found them.
Maybe I try a bit more.

Hhm, an idea comes to mind, to find those things: make the server save the
state at the beginning of the turn done phase, additionally. Just do this in
debug mode, and use a fixed name like 'debug.sav'. Maybe this can help?
