Bug#392774: wormux: blocks the whole X session when GNU touches the first object

[Eddy Petrișor]

Subject: wormux: bug is still visible, even with current X.org
Followup-For: Bug #392774
Package: wormux
Version: 0.7.4-1

Hello,

Steve, thanks for the additional info, I didn't realised the value was
....e+306 until you pointed it out.

I will look into the physics engine to see what is wrong and try to
understand what is wrong. It appears that upstream is quite aware of the
issue that it exists, but they don't know why it happens:

---------8<---------------
  //Due to a bug in the physic engine
  //sometimes, angle==infinite (according to gdb) ??
  GetSpeed(norme, angle);

  while(angle < -M_PI) angle += M_PI;
  while(angle > M_PI) angle -= M_PI;

---------8<---------------
