While running a test case I had written to pursue problems with
llDie() not always completely working, I discovered I was
getting a lot (60+ over 6000 iterations of the test case)
null pointer exceptions in various physics related checks in
SceneObjectPart. It was apparent that the (frequent) checks for
PhysActor being non-null is an insufficient protection in a
highly asynchronous environment. The null reference exceptions
are one example of failure, but it could also happen that a
sequence started with one instance of a PhysicsActor might
finish with another?
Anyway, I have implemented a safer mechanism that should
stop the errors. I re-ran my test case with the fix in place,
and completed nearly 1000 iterations without a single occurrence.
SceneObjectPart is seriously in need of rejigging, if not for
this reason, then for its ridiculous size.
