to a bug in the threading system(?) it does currently lead to abortion,
just like any other exception in the fetcher.
each other out. The problem is this: if we press, for example, "Ctrl-a", but
release the "Ctrl" modifier button *before* the "a" button (which nobody does
intentionally, but which happens all the time), then we don't get the RELEASE
signal on "Ctrl-a" (keycode 1), but on the "a" (79). But "a" hasn't been
pressed, so the signal is dropped. And who releases "Ctrl-a"? Nobody!
So the next PRESSED signal for "Ctrl-a" is ignored, too. It is still
"pressed" after all, isn't it? That's the reason for the occasional
non-functioning of keys.
Due to the nearing 0.9.9 release, I only commit a crude last-minute fix.
It's not as intrusive as it looks, and shouldn't be "dangerous" at all.
It only makes sure that when we get an unexpected RELEASE for one letter
key ("a") that the two twins "A" and "Ctrl-A" are released if they are
still in "pressed" state.
The proper fix will be to let fg_os{,_sdl}.cxx always report presses on the
same key ("a", "Shift-a", "Ctrl-a", "Alt-a", and other combinations of
modifiers) as the *same* key (97), only with modifiers appropriately set.

to pop themselves down while the simulator is paused.
The problem was with the "real time" queue in the event manager,
causing the third argument of Nasal's settimer() (a flag for "sim
time") to be ignored. Inverts the default sense of the argument, as
there are lots of uses of settimer() in the current code, almost none
of which want to use real time.
Note this fix introduces a header file incompatibility in SimGear --

redraw(): redraw gui without distroying dialogs (fgcommand "gui-redaw"/Shift-F10)
This change makes sure that Nasal-generated and dynamic dialogs can be
re-opened correctly when cycling through themes.
Take any arbitrary vector (not necessarily vertical) and intersect it with
the current set of loaded terrain tiles. Returns lon, lat, elev. This
could have a multitude of useful applications such as testing line of sight
between two objects, faking a terrain following lookahead radar system,
virtual georeferencing, etc.
because this creates an empty entry if it didn't exist. This made the
activation of the dialog mandatory before the next gui subsystem update()
happened. Otherwise fgfs segfaulted.

that we never want to draw outside the screen area; for this to work
we need to write the original x/y coords back to overwrite the absolute,
