 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (baseapp) [#338](https://github.com/agoric-labs/cosmos-sdk/pull/338) Make sure we don't execute blocks beyond the halt height. Restored from [#305](https://github.com/agoric-labs/cosmos-sdk/pull/305) but compatible with older `SIGINT`, `SIGTERM` logic
 * (baseapp) [#413](https://github.com/agoric-labs/cosmos-sdk/pull/413) Ignore events from simulated transactions
