Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-08-19 00:51:22 UTC 
I think there is another bug remaining that sometimes occurs when moving into a teleporter, where gnibbles_worm_get_tail_direction() sometimes fails, but it's rare and I'm not sure why. We probably need to give up and store a second pointer to the tail+1st position.

Critical since I added an assertion to crash when this happens.

To be clear, this is really rare and I have no idea what triggers it. Teleporters are way safer than they were before. Don't assume it's fixed if you never hit it.

Closing all the bugs. A major rewrite of the code is landing for 3.20, and there's no point in worrying about bugs in the old version anymore.
