Hello again Bruce,
Now that I read your post I rember having this happen to me about that time but
I cannot be sure if it was this particular game.  But in one game someone
disconnected and came right back in about 30 seconds and resumed the game.  So
this is a possible explanation.  Also I could not get CST-2 to reproduce the
move later.
