well, I have found a clipping bug - I don't know why, I don't know what does
it mean because our current code should be clipping-bug-proof. The problem
is - it isn't. You remember that map you have added to the last release.
There are two towers at the gate. Set the depth of the strip tree to 10 and
look a bit around (look at the towers). You will see what happens. I have
checked the code which determines whether a box is visible, but this should
be ok. It is very strange. Please, look into it Darryl.
