On the dev notes it seemed that Toady fixed it but looks like its happening again, and im sure im running 39c.

I see you've taken to seizing the merchant's stuff when there aren't any merchant guards present. I noticed that exploit as well. Any time the elves come to trade and their caravan can't reach me, I get an elf trader from whom I then seize everything. Since he doesn't have any guards, he can't do anything about it, and I don't have to haggle. It works out best, actually.

What is the merchant's name?  Is that cut off, or is it the uncapitalized first name?

Seizing goods should eventually result in sieges, though this has been reported to not work anymore.  I don't have anything definitive there.

Its cut off, the traders left soon after and auto save saved when it reached the next season. But his name was quite long, if that helps.

EDIT: I just realised that it is the first name, just isn't capitalised, plus the other merchant had that at the end of his last name so that confused me.

Yeah, I just got seiged by the elves in my last save... *gulp* - it does work as intented, Toady.

The capitalization is fixed for next time.  I've made it pretty conservative about displaying the full name, so it'll use first names oftentimes, but for whatever reason, I store them in lowercase.
