Hello,

There has been several report of such problems but we were never able to track 
it. Do you have a savegame I could load and test ? The previous such report 
came with a savegame but it appeared that there swarm with 20 units allocated 
and that the allocation algorithm was overloaded. Nevertheless, as you seem 
to have a clear test case, please send us a savegame and we'll try to 
investigate. You can add a bugreport on savannah if you want somewhere to 
place your savegame.

Thanks,

Steph
