No, the game(s) didn't end. They were just saved to disk in CMG format, then
reloaded later to continue them. I don't remember which game(s) were involved,
but I believe it happened in more than one game. It's apparently random, not
something I can reproduce. It doesn't happen frequently, maybe 5% of the time (1
time in 20). When/if it happens again, I'll try to take more careful notes.
