Comment:

 Fixed; this affected SQ1 and Castle of Dr Brain too. PQ3 also contains the
 buggy Talker script, but it doesn't use it so it's unaffected.

 While this was the same logic mistake as in KQ5 CD, the scripts are
 completely different. There was a lot of room for a comfy patch in KQ5 CD,
 but there was almost no room here for anything. This one took a quarter
 miracle. I also had to write a test program to convince me that my
 optimized logic really did produce the same results and fix this for the
 entire 16-bit space.

 I may not have read all 40+ comments, but I sure recognize the style. I
 generate a lot of similar text files while investigating these things =)
