I accidentally was scrubbing an array to -1 only out to 'nummtypes', the
number of materials, instead of 'numatypes', the number of advances.
(For some reason, I had materials on my brain when I was working in the
research improvements yesterday.) Thus, if there are more advances than
materials, as is true in Opal, then part of the array was initialized to
-1 as it should have been, but part of it was other values. This had a
profound impact on the research decisions. In the case of Opal, this was
essentially causing automatic research to fail.
I'm about to check to see what impact the bugfix will have on the
Advances game.
