You probably know it by different name. basically it is Moo2 feature that if you build a big ship, but then substitute with sometning very cheap, accumulated "hammeres" are not wasted but get accumulated in some invisible "construction bank". You can recycle them next turn when you put a new item for construction. At the same time, when planet finish construction and there is nothing in the queue, Moo2 automatically add "trading goods", converting spare "hammers" into money. Once planet produces more than 20 construction points, any points lost during construction worthless cheap items are more than offset by free money you receive. As a result, races with unification and production bonuses roll in "illegal" gold. It also produce a hell lot of micromanagement and stall game.

I always thought that extra hammers being saved for the next construction was a feature. It seemed like something too basic to be a bug, esp. with the patch. I never got into MP with MOO2, so maybe that's why I didn't realize about the bug.

hammers saving per ser is not a bug, the bug is extra free money that you get from the saved hammers.
It was fixed in Mac Version.
