    e.g. when a user disconnect at this point, the node is indefinitely hung:
    ```
    Good old Wendle Hightree's house

    This is your good friend Wendle's house. His parents are really nice and
    let you stay over all the time. He greets you at the door.

    "Hey man, how's it going?"

    Talk with Wendle for a while
    Take off
    ```

    Ultimately, the 'choice' prompt had nothing to do with it. The issue is really that an infinite loop in a REF file while the player is offmap or busy is an infinite loop that loops infinitely. The committed "fix" is just a workaround for the specific issue as reported, and may break other things. Close investigation of LORD2.EXE behaviour is needed.

    Ok, this should be actually fixed now.
