I earlier thought that there was a bug in mille since I was in a situation
at the end of the game where there were no more cards to pick and I couldn't
play any of my cards.

My thanks to John DeTreville for pointing out that the computer probably
had a move (or more).  I should have discarded (carefully in some situations).

I had mistakenly thought the computer would move if I couldn't, but I guess
I have to discard.  I can see where discarding (as opposed to "passing") would
make things a little more interesting.  Now if I could just make up for all
those games I've lost...  Live and learn.
