Follow-up Comment #3:

Reproduced (with standalone 2.4.0 server on Linux with default settings, apart
from size=2048 and aifill=126). For me there's an additional message which may
shed light. Here's what's in the server console:


1: Requested size of 2048 is too big for this topology.
2: Creating a map of size 1236 x 1648 = 2036928 tiles (2048000 requested).
[very long pause -- several minutes]
2: The server appears to have got itself into an infinite loop in the
allocation of starting positions.
Maybe the number of players is too high for this map.
1: The server couldn't allocate starting positions.
1: Failed to create suitable map, retrying with another mapseed
1: Requested size of 2048 is too big for this topology.

[another long pause]
2: The server appears to have got itself into an infinite loop in the

1: Cannot create suitable map with given settings.

Note the "Requested size of 2048 is too big for this topology" (which appears
on both client and server, although not all the above messages do).

I haven't checked, but I *think* this message is telling us that set_sizes()
has called itself recursively with a smaller size than requested. But only
slightly smaller, since the "Creating a map of size ..." message reflects the
actual size chosen.

To the original reporter: do you see the "too big for this topology" message?
Your extract suggests not.
