[net.games.emp] Wrap-around BTU bug

figmo@tymix.UUCP (Lynn Gold) (10/19/84)

It turns out that nukeing someone's capital when they have 1 or less
BTUs DOES NOT wipe them out of the game!  If they do enough "power new"
commands, after -32767 BTUs, they suddenly wind up with 255 BTUs and
are back in the game!

The fix to this bug would be to disable the "power new" command if someone
doesn't have ten or more BTUs.

Thought y'all would like to be warned...
