That's really weird, because that function returns an actor number. And
the distance used from getObjToObjActDist() is used in a loop and never
passed to the script, so the internal scumm distances (non /8'ed) should
be fine.

It's intresting that the hang is in that place, but I'm not sure that this
is the right solution.
