That shouldn't be too much work unless they do something unexpected; I'll
have a look at it ASAP.

This one's rather interesting... the thing his head appears to be clipped
by is the pod's door frame (view 12, loop 0, cel 4). Both Roger and the
door have priority 10, while the background has 9, but the door's y
coordinate is lower than Roger's y coordinate, so it is drawn after him.
TODO:
Check what the priorities and coordinates are in Sierra SCI.

This works for me, but I recall seeing that behaviour in 0.3.0 on
Solaris. I think you're right about the sound effect- the sound event
marking the end of the sound effect isn't intercepted by the interpreter
(pipe full?).
Since the sound subsystem is being overhauled anyway, this one's not
really dramatic, unless working around it is very painful on your box (try
a smaller scale factor...)

Could you send a screenshot of this, please? That really shouldn't
happen...
(via private e-mail)
I'll add those things to the bug list later.

Does Chris know about this yet?

Great! :-)
