I think that it's always doubled, because once the simulator commits a play in sim.cpp, that whole sequence of functions is called -- to add a new turn, and that function checks to see whether the game ended and if so, calls deadwood. I may be wrong but I think the simulator always has to commit a play or else it doesn't mean anything. deadwood is only called in sim.cpp when you're simulating to the end of the game, so that's the only time they'd be called together, but yeah maybe i should put a counter on both calls and see what's going on... if only i could get cout working on stupid windows, cesar
