I'm sure everyone will hate me for this, but my boyfriend is out of town
and I'm a bit bored. Just want to report these interesting bits so they
aren't forgotten and then pop up at us later :)

I went ahead and ran Purify while "playing" Jones in the Fast Lane,
interesting result is below. NOTE TO USERS: NOTHING IS DISPLAYED, AND THE
GAME IS NOT PLAYABLE. DON'T BOTHER TRYING.

[E] ABR: Array bounds read in vocab_get_words_sci1 {16 occurrences}

                    } while (c);

             =>     return vocab_get_words_sci1(word_counter); /* NOT critical: SCI1 
games and some demos don't have one! */
                  }
