Yes, and bad guys on your scanner show up 90 degrees counterclockwise
from where they should.  It looks like Marathon is encountering some
kind of floating point bug.  I investigated a theory of Cliff's and
carefully stepped through where Marathon builds sine and cosine
tables, but everything seemed fine.  If there are any Mac hackers out
there who want to write a simple floating point test suite and donate
it to us, let me know.  :-)
