Summary0002586: Soldiers pick sleeping dwarves as their sparring partners, then either stand around or beat them up
DescriptionWhen two military dwarfs are assigned to spar together, and one of them is asleep somewhere else in the fortress, the other will stand uselessly in the barracks with the "SPAR" job, accomplishing nothing.

If one of the two dwarfs goes to sleep *in* the barracks, the other dwarf will *attempt to beat them to death in their sleep*.

Looking for bug relationships, the behavior here really involves three separate bugs:
1) Training dwarf is still assigned to Spar when partner is asleep.
2) Sparring dwarf attempts to hit sleeping/helpless partner.
3) Sleeping dwarf isn't awakened by sparring.

Part 1 seems related to 0000428 (perhaps with a more specific explanation). Part 3 is probably the same as 0001740. Part 2 seems to be novel.

How is this a bug? It's clearly a feature! :P (About point 2)
