Re: [pbmserv-dev] zertz bug?

Kurt, I just sent the bug fix to Richard.  :-)    
Please take a look at my solution and let me know if it is correct.
What was happening was  that the program was looking through for 
free tiles that were removable but did not skip over the tile that
was previously choosen and approved  for the marble placement.
