Bug Alert?

Below is a copy of something that happened to me in our recent GOTM. Fortunately, it was only a turn from my last saved game so little was lost on the restart. I'm using this guys post because I couldn't say it any better.

Playing civ3 1.29 and if I steal a tech that I am already researching, I get
the question if I want to look at "the big picture". If I choose yes, then I
can steal another tech for free. (Of course, if there is no other tech to
steal, then you get caught in an eternal loop and have to kill civ3, so
saving before is a good idea). Is this a known bug/exploit? Haven't seen it
anywhere else, but then again, that doesn't mean anything

I was just trying to steal a tech from China to build the Appollo Program. Has anyone else experienced this while trying to steal techs?

I think I've only used espionage to steal technology... maybe twice... but no, never had that particular problem. What's interesting about it is that you're playing, what? 1.21g? Seafan was playing 1.29 (according to the cut-n-post). So it's an as-yet unstomped bug...
