 icon Crash involving room exits leading nowhere, room lock, and undo (+1)  
Game version: 5.1.0.6505

How to replicate:
1) Attempt to move into a room exit that leads nowhere/is blocked.
2) Activate Room Lock
3) Undo
4) CRASH!

What should happen?
No crashes, for one. :P I don't know how the code handles failed room exit attempts and undos, so I can't quite say how this should be fixed.

EDIT: Error log.

I can replicate this. Am using 5.1.0.6501.

If you try to enter a blocked exit twice, then turn on room lock and undo, you get a crash.

If you try to enter a blocked room, and then do something else, turning on room lock and undoing just gives a beep. Drod.err says this...

Trying TCB and Gunthro, my game crashed as well. Appears to be a very old bug.

The problem was because the game tried to playback the demo while keeping room lock, which caused the demo playback to choke because that's not something that should happen. PR

Tried various combinations of locking, undoing and walking into blocked and unblocked room borders. Could not get a crash or error beeps in 5.1.1.alpha.2020-10-18. Seems fixed to me.
