Summary: BONUS:FEAT|POOL giving double bonus

Initial Comment:
From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/message/86257

I made a class that has it's own feat progression, and
was getting far too many feats when advancing levels.
To reproduce the bug, take the following class description:

# Class Name Hit Dice Type Abbreviation Source Page
Save checks bonus Combat bonus
CLASS:ManyFeat HD:10 TYPE:Base.PC ABB:Mft
SOURCEPAGE:ClassesI.rtf
BONUS:CHECKS|BASE.Fortitude,BASE.Reflex,BASE.Willpower|CL/3
BONUS:COMBAT|BAB|CL
# Class Name Skill Pts/Lvl Class Skill
CLASS:ManyFeat STARTSKILLPTS:2 CSKILL:Climb
###Block:Proficiencies
1 FEATAUTO:Simple Weapon Proficiency
###Block: Level progression
1 BONUS:FEAT|POOL|1
2 BONUS:FEAT|POOL|1

At level 3, this character should have 5 feats (1 from
human, 1 for
character creation level 1, 1 for hitting level 3, and
2 from
BONUS:FEAT|POOL). PCGEN is listing a feat pool of 7.

I want to eliminate BONUS:FEAT|POOL entirely, and move to
using standard variables.  I'm working on a spec for this.

the pools are just plain fooked.

Yeah, I've done quite a bit of experimenting with this tag and have seen all 
kinds of bizarre results. For example if you try and use it to counter the 
standard bonus feat every PC gets every three levels by adding BONUS:
FEAT|POOL|-1 at those levels you get a net -1 instead of net 0, it's as if 
the tag negates the standard bump and also applies the -1.

I think this should be refered to Devon, the feat pool concept may be 
getting an overhaul as part of the Ability Object FREQ and this issue may 
just become obsolete.
