Well I put the comment there, so I should know why... you can safely let
that part of the code remain as is, because settlers will never go there.
As I said before, settlers never enter military code, which this is.

Correct. I don't believe this is a single bug that can be removed with a
single surgical patch.

I've posted that as a separate patch already and I expect Greg to comit it
soon. If I had not added those two lines to this patch then I would have
to say "you need to apply this patch as well before testing"... for just
two lines of change. That's silly.

Raimar, you are driving me crazy. If this is the level of "splitting
up"-ness that you demand from the massive ai patch and for AI patches in
general, then I will stop working on it. Life is too short.
