+ Summary: World Map linkage errors (lost-at-sea HOWTO) 
+ 
+ The maps shipped with Crossfire 0.95.6 have at least two linkage errors.
+ One is nasty, but hard to hit, and the second, while easier to run into,
+ appears to be only a minor irritation.
+ 
+ Lost At Sea
+ 
+    Warning: Do not try this unless your character knows "word of recall" 
+             or you have a "word of recall" scroll.
+ 
+ Exit Navar to the countryside, and position your character in the SW of
+ the four squares representing Navar.  From here, go 2SW, 1S, and then
+ 1N.  You will notice a change in your environment:  You're on map
+ world_c2 at 20,5, a spot that's usually hard to get to, and there's
+ "nothing" north of you.
+ 
+ Now don your bathing trunks and go 5S.  You appear to be completely
+ lost, but (as you quickly determine from the 'mapinfo command) you are
+ actually on map world_c1 at 20,0, and from that square there _is_ no
+ land in sight.
+ 
+ Countryside "hiccups"
+ 
+    Warning: I did not encounter any serious problems playing around in 
+             this generally inaccessible map section, but that doesn't 
+             mean there's nothing nasty there.
+ 
+ From the sign 1W from the N-S section of the Great Scorn-Navar Highway,
+ go 8E, then move 1N.  The countryside will undergo some "odd"
+ transitions, but if you move far enough W, S, or E, things will clear
+ up.
