I seem to remember reading that lost souls could, once in a blue moon, go through a monster-blocking linedef during a normal attack (simply because of their speed and roundoff error).  I can't get this to show up in playtesting, however, and people seem to have great difficulty associating roundoff error with a specific code excerpt, so maybe that has to wait until we happen to find a demo.

Also, in the Bugs table under "Loophole" this should technically be a Y, because in old-school speedrunning it saved the player having to kill some Lost Souls (since they were outside the map).  Or should it?    Ryan W 17:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
