Thanks for the information!

Hmm, maybe I should also mention that the autosaves always seem to be a turn 
or two ahead of the last turn I actually played, which is why I thought they 
were part of an ai "playahead" feature.

For example, here are some of the recent saved games:

-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58323 Mar 17 11:34 civ+0330.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58392 Mar 18 19:05 civ+0331m.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 57534 Mar 17 17:46 civ+0331.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58352 Apr 11 12:46 civ+0332m.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58676 Apr 17 17:54 civ+0333m.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 57257 Mar 18 19:06 civ+0333.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58220 Apr 17 18:27 civ+0334m.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 57740 Apr  3 21:38 civ+0334.sav.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 rhk rhk 58471 Apr 11 13:22 civ+0335.sav.gz

The last turn I actually played was the civ+0334m.sav.gz (earlier today).   
Note the civ+0335.sav.gz and civ+0334.sav.gz games saved one or two weeks 
ago!

The versions I'm using are:

[rhk@s14 work]$ civclient -v
Freeciv version 2.0.4 gui-gtk-2.0
[rhk@s14 work]$ civserver -v
Freeciv version 2.0.4
