The emigrate dialog you get after Brewster joins the Congress crashes the game. Reconnecting or quitting is not possible. The log file shows no errors.
Mine locks up in single player too, but nothing I do works, luckily I had saved just before it happened and reloading the save results in the same thing happening to me.

There is a work around for this bug, as follows: When you are presented with the "choose emigrant" dialog box -- instead of immediately selecting an emigrant -- select an item from the "colonopedia" menu, for instance "units". A colonopedia window will appear as expected AND other windows will also pop up (Tax Rate, Seasonal Recap, etc). After these other windows appear it will then be safe to select an emigrant from the William Brewster dialog.

See Bug.No. 1704777 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1704777&group_id=43225&atid=435578 for a savegame that (on my machine) reproduces the crash.

You can download code from CVS and compile it with ant, or you can wait to a new release with this fix and other ones.
