Ok, your example program works. But now consider the following program
where I put the randomized ActionGroupt onto a schedule:

int
main (int argc, const char ** argv)
{
  id actionGroupTest;
  id modelSchedule;
  id obj;

  initSwarmBatch (argc, argv);

  modelSchedule = [Schedule createBegin: globalZone];
  [modelSchedule setRepeatInterval: 1];
  modelSchedule = [modelSchedule createEnd];

  actionGroupTest = [ActionGroup createBegin: globalZone];
  obj = [Responder create: globalZone];

  [actionGroupTest setDefaultOrder: Randomized];
  actionGroupTest = [actionGroupTest createEnd];
  [actionGroupTest createActionTo: obj message: M(m1)];
  [actionGroupTest createActionTo: obj message: M(m2)];
  [actionGroupTest createActionTo: obj message: M(m3)];

  [modelSchedule at: 0 createAction: actionGroupTest];
  [[modelSchedule activateIn: nil] run];
}

Everything else stays as it was before. When I run this program, the
actionGroupTest ActionGroup will be executed once and even in random
order but after that the program crashes with a segmentation fault. If I
set the defaultOrder to Concurrent instead of Randomized, the program
runs as expected.
Can you reproduce this behaviour? Have I done anyting illegal or unusual
in this program?

Thanks for you help,
Axel
