Damage and buriedness are calculated by the misc simulator which has not
changed from version 0.48.

If you look at the civilian code you will see that they say "Ouch" when
damaged and "Help" when buried.

Yes, it does round to zero. This means that you will need to decide
whether you want to spend any time rescueing a civilian with a sensed HP
value of zero or not - they might be alive, they might not.

See my email from a few minutes ago. Civilians that are in burning
buildings certainly sense high temperatures!

It works for me - see the attached log.

You might be right, but this will *not* be changed for 2006. It is too
late to make these sorts of changes now.
Cheers,
