Comment (by csnover):

 > I dropped all empty cartridges in front of my network interface, but
 later found the green one in Louis' flat again, where it had initially
 been, the image was restored to normal. This also happened with other
 items: Eden's CDs and my cigarettes went back to the place where they were
 in the beginning.

 The game has a limit of remembering changes to 114 objects in the game
 world. If more than that are changed the engine starts starts purging them
 from the list so they will end up back where they started.

 In this case the crash seems to be happening because the game cannot find
 an object to purge from this list, so there is no room to add the stone. I
 would guess there is some bug somewhere that is failing to set some flag
 indicating an object can be purged from the list, but I am still
 investigating. Worst-case, we have more memory so can probably just make
 this list dynamic, or at least increase its size so there can be more
 dynamic objects.
