Summary: [0.29c] Player lives are lost between levels

Initial Comment:
DESCRIPTION 
 
Player lives and scores are lost between levels. 
This bug didn't affect heroes 0.21. 
 
NOTES 
 
This bug affect other modes like Quest. It also affects 
Two Player. 
Death Match mode isn't affected by the life problem, 
since player lives are always reset to 9. 
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE 
 
- One Player / Time & Cash mode 
- Complete the Level : Lives are fine 
- Go to the new Level : Life doesn't display (actually it 
is 0)

As you can see from the last line of the trace, the 
number of lives is wrong when exiting state_init() for 
the second level. 
 
I think this is because state_free() frees state->private, 
unfortulately this space is used in state_init() to store 
player information, like the number of lives and the 
score. 
 
Therefore is it a 0.29c design problem ? What do you 
think ?
