One of the traders in the dwarven caravan just went berserk just as they were leaving.  They can do that?  What causes it?

For context, I've got a roaming goblin ambush outside that I've buttoned up to avoid, and the traders have been sitting on the edge of the map waiting for me to open the doors.  Current guesses are, failing to trade makes traders unhappy, he doesn't like the outdoors, or he happened to be the luck recipient of this year's strange mood, with he autofailed because he can't build anything.

Addendum:  Now his mule is berserk, which is oddly awesome in a way, because it's carrying steel anvils.

If traders stick around too long they go insane. You can get things like melancholy mules and berserk traders, as they can be affected by all forms of insanity.

You can then trap them in cage traps and put them in your zoo.

I've had elf traders go beserk when I killed a few of the other elves. Since it meant I needed one less kill order, I was happy.
