Gotcha.  I'll fix this.  Are there other build targets, besides the
Barbarian Leader, that a player will never be able to build?

As in, crashes sometimes, or just acts weird?  One of the "known issues" I
mentioned earlier is an oddity with how I lay out the widgets in the
worklist edit dialog in the Xaw client.  Sometimes, under circumstances
that I cannot reliably reproduce, the worklist edit dialog will be created
with a -huge- width -- like 1000 pixles wide or something.  I think that I
can fix this problem by simply rearranging the form widgets in the dialog.
But, if anyone else has a suggestion, or an intuition on what's the real
cause, I'd be happy to hear.
