Inconsistent fall survival & jumpers bouncing off water/lava bugs

[Gervase Lam]

Ingo,

I've been looking at the bug fixes for Pingus and one of them is with 
regards to the fact that some Fallers in the faller.plf test level survive 
falls inconsistently.  I posted a couple of fixes to the mailing list on 
6th April this year.  This contained the fixes for and explanations of the 
inconsistent fall survival bug and Jumpers bouncing off water/lava bug 
(Jumpers should die instead).

However, recently I noticed that there was another bug that I found with 
Fallers.  There may also be another one in connection with it, but I don't 
whether it is caused by something else.

I noticed the code that I had was inconsistent with the code from CVS.  
So, I backed up my changes and replaced changed code with what was from 
CVS.  The first bug I noticed disappeared.  I think the second may also 
have disappeared.

However, it seems as if the fixes that I posted on 6th April aren't in the 
code.  This means that the inconsistent fall survival bug is there and the 
Jumpers bouncing off water/lava bug would be there as well.

What should I do?  This may be a good thing in one way as I think I can do 
a slight tweak the inconsistent fall survival bug so that the loop doesn't 
call the Pingu's set_velocity() method every time.  This only needs to be 
done once outside the loop.

At the moment, I can't think of a better bug fix to the Jumpers bouncing 
off water/lava bug.  The bug fix for the latter is not a good fix.

Thanks,
Gervase.
