Rev 440 - Fly-through station back with a vengence

About 75% through the Ramaza Wars in the Ionics mission I somehow became Offender and got chased by the cops so I headed for The Link Base at a rapid pace and approached the docking bay slow and... saw stars!

3 attempts later I make a dash for the station (somehow both station and base are close by in this war) Approach the docking bay slowly and... STARS!

One Instant Dock, Save, Quit and Reload later and it was fine again, but it's happened a few times today, yet never before today (for me).

One strange thing I notice is when this is going to happen you'll occasionally see a ship on the far side of the station/base and maybe another stopped outside waiting to dock, both totally stationary.

Debian Sarge Linux. Ionics and Behemoth OXPs installed.

Yes, there's something playing up with the collision code.

It's causing this, the 'transparent rock hermits', and some problems scooping cargo.

I think it may be something causing the player entity to not get checked for collisions but I haven't tracked it down yet.
