That is the error notification that I added to the code.
As I mentioned, but perhaps was not clear, I made no serious 
attempt to isolate the underlying problem. My "fix" was just to 
deaden the pain somewhat.

I don't really feel responsible for this bug (aside from checking 
in the patch (from someone else) that likely introduced it), and 
thus am not feeling highly motivated to fix it at this point.

I think my error message is more descriptive. :-)

Yes. Or more generally, the movement code.
