With Stop Running at Corners turned off, running at the edge of a room that looks something like this...

...will cause the character to run theoretically forever; the game crashes before this goes on for very long, though. Stop Running at Intersections doesn't appear to do anything about this. I got this to happen easiest within the starting room.

    Stop running at corners is turned off by default, and stop running at intersections on by default. I ran in the starting room for several minutes to no effect. This is presumed to be fixed, or an Allegro bug that has gone away.

    But it is reproducible:

    1. Load the save attached
    2. Run north by pressing colon up_arrow
    3. Infinite running!
    4. Press Esc to stop infinite running.

    Just to be clear, step 5 is that the game crashes, not just that there is infinite running?

    In future, please compress the save files. The reason I request this is that I am on mobile broadband and Incursion related usage costs me a decent amount of money. Thanks in advance!

    Oops, I misunderstood the major point of the issue. No, it doesn't crash. At least in a real-world minute or so of running.
