Contatgion Engine's proliferate, then proliferate mechanism is broken

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a +1/+1 token deck (mine is modular/planeswalkers)
2. Get tokens onto your critters.
3. Use Contagion Engine multiple times, if you don't like waiting for the next 
turn add the following (Tezzeret, the seeker; Myr Turbine; 2+ Battered 
Golem/Grinding Stations; Clock of Omens.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should be offered to proliferate, that should complete then I should be 
offered to proliferate again, including all selection of targets, as per DCI 
rules. Instead, It will usually, if not always, proliferate once appropriately. 
THEN it will go into some kind of crazy loop where it drops a bajillion 
counters on everything that has a counter. Mind you this is EVERYTHING that has 
a counter not just what you've selected. and I've seen it take an unmodified 
creature stolen from my opponent's graveyard (2/2 I think + 1x +1/+1) and 
turned it into a 22/22 the next turn it turned the same creature into a 
102/102. I would definitely say that there's something wrong there.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.18.6

Please provide any additional information below.
I would imagine that there's probably a simple unclosed, "infinite" logic loop 
happening. If I could figure out WHAT exactly it's duplicating for certain I'd 
fill you in. But it definitely gets worse the more tokens there are. I could 
not however say whether or not it is the exact number of tokens on a card after 
the CEs initial proliferate. I've tested this with my Elf deck, which runs 
Joraga's Warcallers, so I'm certain that it's not unique to my set up. The ONLY 
card that is the same between the two decks is the Contagion Engine which I 
added to the Elf Deck.

Update: In my Artsy Walkers deck; which is designed to put obscene amounts of 
loyalty tokens onto planeswalkers, as well as, +1/+1 tokens on my few artifact 
creatures, my artifacts turned into creatures, and the creatures I've milled 
from my opponent's deck or killed and then reanimated; I can easily make this 
loop last up to 5 minutes of continuously held down "perform this action" key 
(whatever key that is Circle or 'X' I'd imagine). FIVE MINUTES.

im pretty sure this would corrected in current syn mtg.txt. it was a typo in 
the card code.

I'm sorry. I'm not exactly up to date on the "resources" available for wagic 
here. I'm assuming by the name that mtg.txt is a text file for the wagic game 
system. The questions that present themselves are as follows: Where do I get 
this "current syn mtg.txt"?; Is it a simple, overwrite the previous file, kind 
of implementation? If not where do I find out about it? Are there too many 
questions in this list? Does the Easter Bunny have a bad attitude? Are there 
purple bunnies stealing your start button right now?. The universe reels from 
the difficulty of answering these questions how am I to handle them by myself. 
Anyways. Contagion Engine working right would be nice. I would prefer to use it 
over my viral drakes. Twice the goodies.

in the forum there is a section for svn and coding. the first thread is an 
indepth tutorial on how to build from the most current svn build which includes 
many fixes done after the last release.

Thank you for the information :D and Boooooooo! for no chuckles :P No 
seriously, that information will be very helpful. I don't think I'll jump on it 
right now since it seems that I'll be redoing just about everything on my comp 
in the next 2-3 weeks. I will DEFINITELY look into that after I'm set up 
though, assuming the current issues are STILL issues with 8 cores and 16GB of 
ram not to mention the GPU :P
