I've investigated a little further and it seems to be running out
of memory on my RISC OS 4.0.2 on RPCEmu.

Which version of RISC OS are you using?

Can you try editing the !Run file in !CivClient and add:

Set freeciv-sdl$Heap ""
Set freeciv-sdl$HeapMax 64

after the lines:

Set FREECIV_PATH /FreeCiv:/data/
Set SDL$civclient$TaskName Freeciv Client

and let me know if it works?

Alan
