Reply to the last 4 or 5 emails:

I think that: 
 - crashing in a release version is acceptable
 - the primary check should be in map_inx. There _may_ be extra checks
 needed on other places (same_pos, client packet receiving). However
 here we have to balance cost vs benefit.
 - much more important is this one known open issue: control.c:1033

We should come to a solution. Such a solution can be lightweight
because we expect no big amount of remaining bugs. We can easily add
more checks if this assumption is wrong.
