If anyone is using the new 'destruction-result' unit property, then be aware that there is a subtle bug lurking in it. I encountered the bug with it last night. It seems to work right most of the time, but after like 40 turns of Wreckreation (being played by the AI), it did encounter a bogus result (a nil list instead of one of the 'vanish' or 'table' keywords). I will try to finish tracking down this bug tonight. If you are playing Wreckreation and encounter a warning, "Unknown destruction result encountered.", you can safely ignore it and continue playing without ill side effects.
