[pbmserv-dev] scramble bug

[Mark Ballinger <mballinger@fibres.net>]

I see that "Bob Lafleur" coded scramble, and I don't know if there are any
programmers who feel inclined to fix a bug, but . . .

In game 2265 I went to trade two tiles in.  Instead of typing:

scramble board 2265 markball <pw> x,mq

I typed

scramble board 2265 markball <pw> x,2

inadvertently.  So, the turn processed as if I had passed.  No tiles
changed.  *But* the game inserted a "2" into the tile pouch.  On my next
turn, I got it back!  Here was my rack:

  A  O  2  D  N  R  S
  1  1 1684955474  2  1  1  1

The two was worth 1684955474 points!  Too bad I couldn't use it in a word,
though, because Dave Hart went out:

dhart has scored 6 points for making the following word:
       mi          6
dhart takes 1684955474 points from markball
