Nice example demo. You can even see this bug with the naked eye - turn on the 
automap with overlay and iddt-iddt and you can see that the player gets stuck 
in a sergeant (ok, I have the advantage of the chasecam in the dev version to 
help see this :).

It turns out I'd failed to completely fix the mess of overlapping uses of 
global variables in p_map.c - utterly horrible piece of code. Boom added 
several extra overlapping uses of some already very overloaded variables, and 
this was breaking the telefragging code when more than once monster was 
telefragged at once (two sergeants in the case of E4M1).

I've fixed it in the CVS stable version now. This fixes ep4-0426 in compet-n 
incoming as well. Another bug bites the dust! :-)
