At present, kicking people or having people leave generally tends to result in crashes.
The game attempted to cast me from Spectator to Player once after a bot got kicked during game setup, and crashed because it couldn't actually *do* that. (There isn't a log to link to AFAIK because the game never started; actually, the host crashed too)
I too first found M.U.L.E. on the C64 in the 80s, as a kid, and had a lot of fun playing it with my family back then. More recently, within the last year or so, before I heard of PlanetMule, I managed to convince one of the people I knew online to play the NES version through an emulator over the internet. We spent the majority of our time making a fortune catching the Wampus repeatedly, as it was apparently far, far too easy to catch him on the NES.
I haven't had this happen yet, but I've only played two 4-player tournament games and one 6-round training game. Someone else mentioned that they thought the freezing might be due to leaving your guys between the lines during the trading phases instead of moving them back above or below the lines before the timer ran out; we've always moved our guys back behind the lines before the timer ran out, so if that's the cause of the bug, that would explain why it hasn't happened to us yet. Or it may just be luck.
I changed my left key from whatever the bizarre default was to A, so it would be more sensible, but then when I went to start a game, I found that I couldn't actually add any AIs - when I pressed A, nothing happened.
