I got this bug while in gdb once, but the backtrace was in libc, so that 
wasn't very informative. Might it be a race condition in the overlay maps 
thread ?

Talking about fertility map, we could pre-compute it at map creation and use 
its probabilities in the resource growing code instead of doing the lookup on 
the actual terrain. I don't know why Nuage and me did not think at it 
earlier. We were young and short-sighted ;-)

Have a nice day,

Steph
