Today's "I never saw Zork II do that before" bug is...

The JIGS-UP routine doesn't kill the player, it kills the current actor. That's a feature. But when a timer routine is run, it doesn't change the current actor back to the player.

So simply by talking to the robot, I can save myself from death by timed event.

I had hoped to use this on the Wizard, but apparently his action routine terminates too early. That too may be a bug, but one that cancels the first one.
