Thank you for the detailed information, I think I know
what is going on. Unfortunately it is a known design
bug that the current freeciv network code behaves badly in
extreme circumstances (long latency and large data sends),
and there is no easy way to fix this without a substantial
redesign and rewrite.
In your case I think the server tries to send a very large
amount of data at once using buffering and this causes the
buffer to exceed its maximum capacity. This is probably
unavoidable on very large maps with many cities and units.
This could be temporarily fixed by increasing the maximum
buffer size from 524288 bytes to say 4 MB, but this limit
is hard-coded in the program and would require a recompile
to change.
Anyway here is a patch that increases the limit for freeciv
2.1.8; I will think about making this configurable without
recompiling, or perhaps how to redesign the network code
without too much grief.
