Summary: Spider scene freezing after picking up paper from web

Initial Comment:
Hello Scummers,
I'm referring here to 2 other bug reports that are indicated "closed", but I suspect that only 1 of them (the earlier one!) is indeed supposed to be closed:

04/2011: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3291115&group_id=37116&atid=418820
08/2012: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=418820&aid=3555404&group_id=37116

The more recent one happens to have my identical machine/ScummVM version:
Language: English
Version of Game: DOS and Windows version, from the King's Quest Collection disc from Sierra
Platform: Windows 7 64-bit
ScummVM version: 1.5.0

However I can add this new info:
(1) The earlier bug from 04/2011 seems to have been fixed in an earlier ScummVM version.
(2) I tried installing an earlier ScummVM version 1.4.0 64-bit, and open the same saved game: No freeze!
(3) I deduce from this one of the following:
    (A) The bug has to do with a 32-bit version of ScummVM on a 64-bit version of Windows 7.
    (B) The bug had been indeed fixed somewhere before version 1.4.0, but was somehow re-introduced upon version 1.5.0

Remark: Setting speed to maximum, as suggested for a possible workaround, doesn't seem to make a difference.

Attached is a saved game just before interacting with spider.
To reproduce:
Load, look at the spider, pull the loose web on the bottom and then pick up the piece of paper that is stuck in the web.

Hope that helps.
Your platform is beautiful, keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Ohad
