Summary	0004691: AI sometimes try to relight a doused overhead light when it's too far off the floor.
Description	The problem is in the 2.05 code for SwitchOnLightState::Init(), at line 338: if (gameLocal.clip.TracePoint(result, startPoint, bottomPoint, MASK_OPAQUE, NULL)) That NULL should be _goalEnt, causing the trace to ignore the light itself. Somewhere between there and SwitchOnLightState::Think(), line 592: idVec3 goalOrigin = _goalEnt->GetPhysics()->GetOrigin(); _goalEnt becomes NULL. Don't know why at this point. If _goalEnt is too high for the AI to reach, SwitchOnLightState::Think() should never run.
Tags	No tags attached.

The code worked fine. I went ahead and made the first change that I noted at the time, and checked for a NULL _goalEnt as the second change. I'll put this on feedback in case anyone notices a problem before 2.07 gets released, at which point I'll have a better example.
