LOOM/CD: Distaff sporadically loses bits

Description
Play the game for a while. After walking around for a bit, a chunk of the distaff will be gone: a letter will disappear, a corner of the staff may vanish, etc. The letters will regenerate when you click on them, and the staff itself will be regenerated after a conversation or something, but this is kind of annoying. I can't find any way to reproduce this reliably, unfortunately. :(

This problem effects fresh game from the start too, so definately isn't related to other problem that occur after load/save of game.

How do you now those bugs have the same cause? The only way to know would be to have a fix, which you say you don't... all I see is that it *seems* that these two bugs may have the same *triggers*, but the resulting buggy may very well be due to two different bugs :-)

Well in the test case of 'open clam and change room', script 16 is started as the new room loads and all it basically does is an empty talk string: [0000] (9A) Var[166] = Local[0]; [0005] (14) print(1,[Spacing?(10),Center(),Pos(160,Var [166]),Text("")]); [0012] (A0) stopObjectCode() END
Script 16 is started by script 10002, I'm not sure what the number refers to as that script doesn't exist.

I put a workaround for bug #770049 into CVS. It may or may not also fix this issue, too. Please test.

I see script 10002 means entry script, so room 3 entry script always starts script 16: startScript(16,[16])
I wonder what the original game did in this situation. Anyway the work around you added solves the problem.
I can reproduce it (Loom, german EGA version, latest CVS, Linux). It always happens when entering a new room, e.g. if I leave the dock after opening the clam. Whichever letter I hit last disappears from the distaff.
