[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12035) client blocks indefinitely

["Jason Short" <jdorje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=12035 >

When I load up the gtk2 client (2.0) and "connect to server" it blocks 
indefinitely.  This is especially obnoxious since I just want to connect 
to a local server, but I have to wait while the client tries to connect 
to the metaserver.  It should NOT block while doing this.

When I send it a SEGV I get:
