Congratulations! And this time, nobody beat you to it, either ;-)
Unfortunatley, I don't have the web management scripts at the box I'm
working on ATM, so the update will have to wait until tomorrow.

Completely stuck? Hmm, it seemed to work fine with the scripted Avoider
object, our builtin DoAvoider() seems to need some fine-tuning.

This marks a relatevely new workaround. If you only got the warning and
nothing else broke, it's a good sign.

Need to have a look at that one. Probably not important, but it's unusual
to see song objects without signals.

Indeed; this is a pecularity of the early KQ4 (it works right with the
later one). It's possible that they moved their priority bands by one
pixel...

Weird.

Could be some sort of heap corruption- a few heap details changed and I'm
not certain whether my current attepts to ensure savegame downward
compatibility are sufficient.
Could you send me your savegames, please? I'd like to have a look at these
bugs.
Thanks for testing!
