Warcraft III Farm bug

As all of you who play Warcraft III online know, earlier in the week, Dishonru discovered a new bug: If you build a farm in a tight corner (ie: so that when the farm finishes your peon is trapped and can't move), if you cancel the farm early, you'll wind up with 80 gold and 20 wood more then what you started with. The implications of this are tremendous: Using this "bug" you can actually "mine" gold at approximatly the same speed as 4 expansions!

Blizzard is now aware of the problem, and they promise to put out a patch soon, but as we all know, all that means is that we can expect it before, say, Starcraft: Ghost comes out.

My own personal take on this situation: It really doesn't bother me. I've played maybe 20 ladder games since the bug was discovered, and I have yet to encounter someone doing it in a game.
