[Freeciv] restarting a saved game

[ryan p bobko <bobojones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,
How do you reconnect to a game you are restarting from a saved file?

For example, I start the server on my machine (I'm playing with
AI opponents only), and then connect with the client. When I restart the
game later with civserver -f civgame1.sav and try to connect with the
client, I'm told the game is full and I cannot play. How do I get around
this?

Thanks in advance,
ry
