Dear Rails Development Team

Many thanks for all the excellent work that you do on this!  I don't 
know enough programming to be able to help, but did come across the 
following bugs / glitches when playing the 18EU module the other day 
as a means of refreshing my memory of the game before playing for 
real.

1.	SNCF stock was at E100 and one share was sold by player A for 
100.  Next player (B) then sells 3 x SNCF, but program still shows 
price as 100 and credits player B with 300.  Happened again when FS 
was on that same space on the stock market.

2.	Although 8 trains are shown as 8(+) in the new and future 
trains section of the Game Status panel, once the first 8 is bought, 
the program does not recognise any more 8 trains as being available.  
Kinda stops the game with a bump!

3.	KBS's director had to contribute 246 from hand to fund 
purchase of a 6 train for 600, and then subsequently issued shares 
during the last element of the operating round.  But the KBS treasury 
shares as issued were deducted from the treasury so that KBS ended up 
with a negative treasury balance of 270 (3 shares @ 90).  This then 
meant the KBS was not allowed by the program to lay any track at all 
because its cash was less than zero.  (I fixed this for game purposes 
by giving the KBS a hugely large dividend equal to twice the 
difference between the negative amount it had and the positive amount 
it should have had, and then splitting.  Of course, I then had to 
make a mental adjustment of the players' cash totals to discount the 
phantom dividend.)

4.	After the company stock buying/selling phase in each OR, the 
stock market window always closes itself.  There seems to be no way 
of telling it to stay open.

Hope these help!  # 2 is the main problem!

Best wishes
