           Summary: "dropped" casts in pass_four may cause error message at
                    end of pass_three
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.14.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: Cast
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: seth AT tautology.org


with parallel "casting" or not, if a spell gets dropped and it was being
downloaded in the background, it is possible that pass_four may satisfy before
pass_three is satisfied. If all casts either are successful or error fail
instead of drop, pass_three must complete before-hand, which was the way it 
was
gauranteed before dropping casts was added.  Not anymore.

Easy enough to fix:

line 461 of cast:

      touch $TMP_DIR/pass_three.done

can be made:

      touch $TMP_DIR/pass_three.done 2> /dev/null

This of course brings us to the question of whether or not we should interrupt
downloading for skipped casts.  Perhaps inserting a prompt at the end of
pass_four if pass_three.done doesn't exist asking if background downloading
should be stopped defaulting to no would work (a "disown %-" should suffice if
no).  Line 469 already has a partial solution to this -- it just "waits" a bit
for pass_three to complete, although the "more bad things" warning in the
comment doesn't make much sense to me.
