----------------------------+---------------------------
 ScummVM 2.7.0git1312-g0d3801cb861 on Linux. This has been reported for the
 Ultimate Talkie Edition of Monkey 1, but it's quite possible that it
 happens in all Monkey 1 versions.

 Original report by Al.DeHyde here:

 > In the "hell" bit near the end of the the game I've walked into a room
 that is blocked by some rocks so I can't reach another exit but I also
 can't go back out of the one I entered by. [...] It happened on a regular
 playthrough. I was just wandering round enjoying the noses and eyes.
 Guybrush entered the room from the left (the screen scrolled across) but
 he couldn't get past those stalagmites or go back the way he came. I
 reloaded the game and came across that room again (entered from the top)
 and was able to walk past the rocks and exit to the left that time.

 LogicDeLuxe says "Far before the talkie even existed, I heard of people
 getting trapped in the caverns, but never encountered that for myself. I
 have no idea what would cause this. Seems a very rare thing".

 The problem is that you're completely blocked when this happens, and you
 need to load a previous save. So, finding a way to prevent this would be
 nice.

 This room is randomly generated (and changes whenever you move to a new
 screen) so it's hard to reproduce this. I'm attaching Al.DeHyde's save
 where Guybrush is stuck, and a save of mine in the same room, where
 Guybrush appeared from the right and thus didn't get stuck.

 (Boot param 999 leads you to the catacombs with the navigator's head,
 too.)
