Subject: xmille: perverse play confuses xmille -- no such card
To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: xmille
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: normal

I have seen a hard-to-repeat bug: if you've got only 25 miles left to
1000, and you have all 4 safetys and the computer has been shut out,
and can't move, if, just out of perversity for a finish of a perfect
game, you discard all of your cards before playing the 25, xmille gets
into a 'say "no card there" and beep' mode.

It may be worth noting that it was actually using xlib from 3.9.16 and
was displaying via ssh on a 2.2.9 PII machine running (a presumably
upgraded) red hat 5.2 and XF86 3.3.3, but it looked like an internal
xmille error to me... I suspect "move.c" line 40. I think the 25 was
in the rightmost slot before I discarded whatever was to its left.

This "really good game" bug reminds me of finding a bug in a mac poker
program-- it interpreted 3H 3S 3C 3D JD as "Jack High."

Didn't there used to be a "low" severity for bugs?

	     (yes, I'm bored tonight waiting for my girlfriend to fix
	     her web site... so bored I played xmille long enough to
	     get a "perfect" game...)
