Nikolaus Hartlieb has uncovered a bit of bad behavior in the server that seems related to the pause function. He ran the server with 9 external broker agents. At the beginning of timeslot 4, he sent in a pause request, which took effect at the beginning of timeslot 5. Then a large number of orders were submitted, and he issued a pause release. The server began processing the orders, but seems to have frozen up partway through clearing the market.
