Hello all,

I reckon I have found the fix as to why shooting the tank commander in the
boss2 easter egg with railgun causes quake2 game to lock-up.  In fact it
doesn't, it just gets stuck in that while (ignore) loop here ever after.

The code is indeed /game/g_weapon.c -> fire_rail ()

Full explanation and code here:

I confirm this fixes the problem, and the logic seems right - but I am
 unaware (and can't see how to test) what happens in all the variations
 during the rest of the game.
