[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12328) treaty dialog blocks embassy without message

CVS 22 FEB 2005 GTK2 S2_0

I get a popup from the icelanders suggesting an alliance. I add 2 embassy
clauses symmetrically, the AI thumbs are still up. The accept button is
selectable, but a click (or keypress) produces no result. The window keeps
open.

I'll load the savegame (big) up to RT.

It is possible to make an alliance, and get an embassy with the icelanders.
But every attempt to *grant* an embassy to the icelanders fails. No message
is given.
