Summary0003407: Caravan guards follow merchants poorly
DescriptionWhen Human or Dwarven caravans arrive, the armed guards seem to protect them by periodically moving to a random position within 2 tiles of each merchant. If the fortress's design involves walls only 1 tile thick, this will frequently result in the guards wanting to move to the other side of the wall, even if they have to walk all the way across the map to do so.

As usual, this is another issue that dates back to 40d and likely even earlier.
