New description:

 This is with ScummVM 2.6.0git and the English FM-Towns version of Zak
 McKracken sold by GOG.

 If you:

 1. start a new game
 2. grab your CashCard under the desk, grab your phone bill in the dresser
 drawer
 3. exit your apartment and go to The Phone Company next to it
 4. read the number that's on the pay phone (note it somewhere)
 5. give your phone bill to the Caponian
 6. go back to your apartment, use your phone and call the phone number
 above. Wait for the Caponian to pick up his phone.
 7. go back to The Phone Company (making sure that Zak doesn't hang up the
 phone)
 8. try to go past the counter door while the Caponian is busy on the phone

 then Zak will say "I can't reach it". You can see that it's open (the
 Caponian opened the counter door when he went to the phone), but you do
 need to open it again yourself.

 Savegame at step 6 is attached below (so that you can study all the
 necessary variables just before they change). Phone number is `5844` in
 that one.

 **Expected behavior:** if the counter door is visibly open, one shouldn't
 need to open it again :)

 I suspect a script bug in this version, something like the Caponian not
 properly modifying the state of this object when he goes to the phone. I
 don't have this bug in the V2/DOS version.
