It shouldn't. There might have been problems if the player blocks an
exit or something - his schedule stops when opening the load/save
screen. Or they went into the wrong room and got stuck there. I don't
know. I tested a second time, but there it was fine.

Only if you save the game at that time and try to load it again, you'll
get a crash. That's because changing schedules does not invalidate
callbacks yet. It's a known bug, but not serious as it will never happen
during normal gameplay. Maybe I'll fix it, if it's not too hard.

That's what I think. Most of the issues will be resolved anyway once we
have a better pathfinding routine. Time events might need some tweaking
too, but it's not worth the trouble now.

Yes, that would be really good. Ben? JT? Kenneth?
