[W|0.11.857] Bought colonists fail to spawn

[joetheref]

Did the following trade with a merchant: bought 2 colonists(one of them called Redfields who appeared in the debug log), 2 medicine and 1 beer for 786 silver and 1 prisoner

Silver disappeared and drop pod came down in stockpile area however the colonists and items I bought did not appear. Game started to lag and FPS dropped. Upon retrying to trade with the merchant the other colonist I bought named Abruno, the beer and the medicine still appeared in the pirate merchant's inventory.I have no proof of this but trying to trade again with the merchant throws a lot of messages to the log

I wasn't able to find anything wrong in the savegame or reproduce anything.

Is the save from before or after the bug?

Can you reproduce the bug? Or maybe post the output_log from when the bug happened? Or tell me how to reproduce it?

[joetheref]

The save game was as it was happening, there was a drop pod in the main stockpile and nothing was spawning it. If you aren't seeing that I will see if there's a way to reproduce it from an autosave

EDIT: I have uploaded a screenshot showing the location of the drop pod (left edge of the stockpile), I have hovered the cursor over the square below the drop pod and as you can see on the left it has tried to spawn Redfields multiple times. http://imgur.com/ScHHbtR

EDIT 2: Extract from the log file below, this seems to repeat a lot.

Ahh that's interesting.

Looks like a side effect of another bug I'm working on. I'll consolidate this there

Thanks for all the info!
