I guess your last sucesfull action was sabotaging a unit. Wasn't it?

This bug is already fixed, next bugfix release(2.0.5) is going to be
released next week. In the meantime, if you know something about
programming you can use a patch from
http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13696

If it's not the case please try to find reproduceable way of triggering
the bug.
