The OpenTTD Team reports:

When multiple commands are queued (at the server) for execution in the next game tick and an client joins the server can get into an infinite loop. With the default settings triggering this bug is difficult (if not impossible), however the larger value of the "frame_freq" setting is easier it is to trigger the bug.
