In fact, that's exactly what it was.  (For the record, I'd found and
fixed the bug before I read any of these responses.)  The ant had
actually been killed and removed from the map and all, but due to a
little oversight on my part it got brought back to life.  So there was
this ghostly ant, wandering around and indirectly interfering with the
affairs of the living.


Unrelatedly, I'd like to thank the writers of sample.ant for including
the insn "Sense Here 0 326 FoeWithFood".
