Spike enlightened us with:
> CTC_TMale1BGot DM-Ablee.CTC_TMale1Bot23 (Function
> CatchTheChicken.CTCBot.findChicken:0043) Runaway loop detected (over
> 10000000 iterations)

This is the only looping code:

for(item = someone.Inventory; item != None; item=item.Inventory)
   if(item.IsA('CTC_Chicken')) return item;

Apparently, one of the bots has an inventory item pointing to itself.

I hope so too.

New features for 0.1:

- A big arrow on the HUD pointing to the chicken. It'll be green when
  the chicken is walking around, and red when it's caught.
- Some sort of graphical HUD element on which you can see how long it'll
  take before you score again, when you hold the chicken.

Possible new feature:

- Anti-camper measures.
