Bot got frozen on Lurker

Bot played a Lurker.  I guess the bot couldn't figure out whether to trash or take from the trash.  I sat for a while and then resigned.  Thanks in advance.

Yes, Lurker is known to 'freeze' the Bot under certain circumstances, see e.g. this (http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=646.msg1513#msg1513).

I came here to post this same bug.

The bot gained Lurker from Jester.
