	An interesting bug has shown up in conquer.  What happens is when
A player nation takes land from an NPC of a different race (without slaver),
the game takes the people from the sector and places them in their capitol.
This is not the problem. The problem is that it seems to double them, meaning
that all the people displaced get doubled.  For example: Nation Modrid
takes land from anorian displacing 30,000 people, those people are placed in 
their capitol, the very next turn anorian has an additional 30,000 people
on top of what they had the previous turn.  (This makes attacking an NPC
nation of a different race kinda pointless, unless you have slaver).
In a game we have running, it is turn 17 and anorian has 91,000 people
and they started with 17,000, not having slaver.  And they keep getting
bigger whenever a non elf nation takes land from them.
