Details:
There is a subtle bug in moveGetDirection() that results in droids that spin
endlessly in circles, going nowhere. The problem occurs when a droid gets a
path, but is nudged off course, so that it appears closer to the second
waypoint in the path than the first. When moveGetDirection tries to
interpolate a direction for it between the two waypoints, it sends it in a
circle between the two, since it does not understand that it could be closer
to the second waypoint than the first.
Savegame that reproduces the bug is attached.
Also attached is a nasty hack to fix the problem.
