 In case anyone has noticed, there m3a little bug in robots
when you use the control key or the shift key to do a move.
If you tell it to go in the directions of a wall, it will.
It will then plunge through the wall and give you an error such
as Bus error.

To fix it, you need only to insert 1 line in the code. It is in the
routine do_move in the first switch statement:
       VERT:
       HORIZ:
       SCRAP:
         bad_move = TRUE;

(on my copy it is around line 409)
just insert the line
         return;
after the bad_move = TRUE;
