Border sliding is a very awkward mechanism for movement, and I think the 
general consensus now is that it never should have existed in the first 
place.  There has to a better way to get the same results.

I'm also pretty sure that there are no games in the library that 
actually support moving a unit more than one cell in a single action, so 
I wouldn't be surprised if you found bugs there (Xconq has an 
unfortunate history of being loaded with new features that don't get 
tested until years later).


By the way, it looks like you're posting to the old site that was hosted 
by Red Hat, which has not been updated for about two years (although the 
mailing lists still function).  The Xconq project is now being hosted on 
SourceForge:
