Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 As far as I know it's a known overflow problem of the original game
 scripts.

 Message boxes have timers, but these timers do not take overflows into
 consideration.
 So if a message box is supposed to stay on screen for 20 seconds, but a
 timer overflow happens, the message box will get closed way faster than it
 was supposed to close.

 You should be able to reproduce it using the original interpreter. It
 happens every 18 minutes.

 It's not our bug, it's a bug in certain games.
