You're unlikely to be suicidally near anyone else's startup position
(unless you asked to start at Stormhaven or somesuch), so your first
turn or two should be safe.  And they try not to run turn two until
everyone's had a chance to send in turn one.

Neither.  There's an intermittent bug that causes the print routine
to look up races in the wrong file.  It shouldn't be hard to fix,
but it persists.  The usual kludge is to write a note to MG listing
the observations and asking what they really meant.

Both.  Don't worry about it.
