Yeah, I just realized that in this bug report I failed to include which 
version I'm running. When I clicked the About menu item, I saw the 
directions for correct bug reporting. Sorry for sending this to the wrong 
address first. The about box mentioned that there was a file called BUGS in 
my freeciv directory that details the correct way of doing this, but I can't 
find it. If you send it along, I'd read it and obey it.

Until then, I'm running version 2.0.4 on Windows XP.

Thanks again,
Joel.

Hello,

First of all, let me say a big thank you for all the hard work you've done. 
I absolutely love your game!

Secondly, the reason I'm writing is that I finally found a bug in your code. 
Not by looking at the source, but by playing the damn thing. My bug is 
difficult to reproduce as I think it's a memory problem. I'm playing a game 
with six AI opponents (though some them stupidly think we're in some kind of 
alliance; oh I'll get to them soon enough). I have one city (Perpiny) that 
is the source of my problem. 

1. When I bring up the city window, the one with tabs for Overview, 
Production, Happiness, etc., I should see at the very top a text message 
that displays the city name, its population and its state (rapture, peace, 
disorder). This is always blank.

2. This city built Leonardo's Workshop, but when I hit F7 for the traveler's 
report of the Wonders of the world, it displays every wonder and the city 
its in on down to the city name Perpiny. In the early stages of the game, I 
only saw four wonders, but as I've built more wonders, the ones that come 
before "L" in the alphabetically sorted list do appear, but the ones whose 
first letter comes after "L" do not. This is a major problem as I failed to 
build the Pyramids and I desperately would like to know who did so I can 
take them over.

3. Every city that trades with Perpiny, on their "Trade Routes" tab, fails 
to display any information after declaring its trade route with Perpiny.

Is there any thing more I can do help you track this (low-severity, minor) 
bug down? Perhaps I could tar up an early version of the game and send it 
off to you? Let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks for all of your hard work,
Joel Melamed.
