Summary: SCUMM: Failed assertion in getBoxCoordinates()

Initial Comment:
A couple of days ago, there was a very vague report on the #scummvm channel about a failed assertion in getBoxCoordinates():

[11:47] --> mEpHiSt0 joined #scummvm.
[11:47] <mEpHiSt0> re all
[11:49] <mEpHiSt0> Assertion failed: bp, file engines/scumm/boxes.cpp, line 568
[11:49] <mEpHiSt0> This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
[11:49] <mEpHiSt0> Please contact the application's support team for more information.
[11:49] <mEpHiSt0> wtf?
[11:49] <mEpHiSt0> mi

[11:51] <mEpHiSt0> hello!
[11:54] <Junior|> file a bug report
[11:56] <mEpHiSt0> yay

[11:57] <mEpHiSt0> ok
[11:57] <-- mEpHiSt0 left irc:

Possibly related to this, Kirben discovered that the Spy Fox 3 demo can be made to trigger the same assertion, simply by clicking on the satellite. (In fact, you can simply click on the moon, but that's also a kind of satellite, right? :-)

This happens when getBoxBaseAddr() returns NULL. In this case, it does so because getResourceAddress() returns NULL.
