No - this is clearly not the problem!! That's what I thought during a long 
time, but after a lot of playing I'm sure that this is not the problem! Thus 
I can confirm the validity of the following bug, and please add any useful 
information to it (such as saved games and such stuff):
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=11270

If I didnt submit any file of a saved game, I think it was because this bug is 
not easily reproductible - saving and reloading solves in fact often the 
problem! Also nct I sent you a similar reproductible situation about units 
refusing to completely fill a defence tower with stone... Please have a look 
at that file since I think that it's very probable that both problems are 
linked and it's the only thing we have.

I know that there may be a lot of possibilities why units refuse to work - but 
at least at alpha9 the problem was very present. The problem is that since 
that time I play in a way I try never to have over -20 workers, and also do 
some voodoo stuff that I realized milder the bug (such as when units refuse 
to work - i set the biggest unit requests to zero and then up again)... Thus 
I didn't really see the bug any more, but it is very probable that it still 
remains!
