Map bug?

        Kernel: kernel-0_34-unix
        Agents: NITRescue-R

        When all the enviroments is up and an only Civilian is added
        (because of computing complexity - I have found out my
        Celeron 333, 196MB RAM to be too slow) and the simulation
        starts (kernel is reporting actual simulation time), the Civilian
        looks for a refuge. When the agent see the refuge, is trying to
        get there. But the agent is unable to reach it. In stead of it
        moves in a cycle among two nodes. Have you ever see such an
        agent behavior? I think, that it can has two possible reasons:

        1) The agent see the refuge, but doesn't see the entrance and
           the path-finding algorithm is unable to find a way to the
           desired node. The refuge is on the map, but the entrance is
          not connected to any road node/edge. I tracked the visual
          informations from kernel: the refuge is visible, but there is no
          information about entrance (property 21 - entrance - is
          missing in informations from kernel). Is it a map bug? How
           could I track it? It's a refuge with ID 1957.
           The agents moves among IDs 1240 and 1902.
      2) The path-finding algorithm has a bug and that is why agent
            cannot move to other place, where from would be the
            entrance visible. Or the algorithm expect automaticly an
             information from the kernel about the entrance node when
           an information about the refuge is present in a visible area.

        I guess, that the first possibility is more probable.
     Have you ever heard about such a problem? If not, I have
        to track the map some way (but I hardly don't know how)
        and to check path-finging algorithm. But I treat as an unavailing
        effort, when somebody could already solve it.
        
        I downloaded a tool for map checking and OBJ file generation,
        but I don't know how to use it (I'm starting in Java).
        
        I also downloaded other newer maps. But the simulation failed
        on segmentation fault (in GIS or kernel - I'm not sure).
        
        Thank you for replies and given time.

        Yours Sincerely
