I find it funny that Chill is the one getting somewhat railed on in this thread ^^

I've never been able to reproduce this bug. Does anyone know if it's exactly 4X speed or is 4X a rough estimate?

This is exactly like when two people try to pass eachother but can't decide which side to pass on...
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Reaver duds are everything but random. They travel for a certain time and/or distance, and stop working if they go over that limit. And with that kind of attitude no bugs would ever have been found.

No i'm fairly sure reaver bugs are random. I was playign a game just the other day and was reaver dropped, scarab ran around my minerals for 3-4 seconds then flew right into my scvs and exploded.

Sadly they were all stacked trying to run

As far as I am aware the Starcraft engine is deterministic (uphill misses excepted), so to say it is 'random' is inaccurate. Reaver scarabs are unpredictable, and their exact success or failure depends on too many parameters for us to reliably replicate results. By trying to understand these bugs we can usually identify techniques that make certain results more or less likely, and Reaver scarabs are a perfect example of that. If you just say 'oh it's random' then nobody learns anything.

The OP (although not great) specifically asks if anyone has had success reproducing this bug. I don't understand how this leads to general 'OMG this thread is useless you can't reproduce it'.
Though I would have more sympathy if the title wasn't so appalling.
