Interesting, but I think that's a separate problem.  Several lines below 
where the assertion happens is where the starting positions are actually 
allocated, and here there is a die() with lots of logging for the 
(previously common) situation where there's not enough room.

In this crash, though, there are not enough island "starters".  I have 
no idea how island starters are determined but I would have thought this 
to be impossible.

We probably need to find out the map generator and seed and other info 
to be able to reproduce this.  This means going onto pubserver and using 
gdb I think (the core file and all other stuff is saved, but is 
generally not usable on a different machine).
