Steamhammer 1.3.2 added a severe terran bug

Ack! I fixed one bug that happens when terran gives up on constructing a building, but I missed an even more serious terran bug in the same code. In Steamhammer 1.3.2, terran is unable to build a command center! The bot gives up on the building partway through and cancels it.

See Randomhammer vs ICEbot for an example. Randomhammer expanded late, and ICE had already placed a spider mine at its expansion spot, so Randomhammer gave up on its first attempt as intended. After its vessel came out, Randomhammer eventually cleared the mine and started the command center again—and again—and again, canceling it over and over. Mega ouch! I coded up a quick 14CC opening and verified that the bot can’t finish a command center at all.

The bug is so severe that it deserves a quick 1.3.3 release with a fix. Stand by, I’ll try to get it in today.
