- Why bother with a half-speed ticker for guardians? Why not just
use the LSb of the main ticker?

No real reason. That's just how I happened to write it.

- What happens if both the half-speed bit and the double-speed bit
are set?

Both apply. So you get normal speed and jerky animation.

- I notice this document does not mention switches &c. Are these
implemented as patch-vectors, or is the document incomplete?

It's incomplete; the appendix in the JSWED documentation was updated
more recently and should be comprehensive. Switches are guardians.

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

The usual source of segfaults in JSWED is when it tries to draw
something (such as text) that won't fit on the screen. Another
possibility is a room name with weird characters in it, though JSWED
doesn't object to rooms 61-63 of the original JSW.
