Found another deadlock in the faller code, happens when miner/faller
get together, it doesn't happen always, but the following demo file
reproduces it:

<pingus-demo>
  <level>playable/miner-tutorial2-grumbel</level>
  <events>
  <pingu-action time="1014" id="3" action="miner"/>
  <pingu-action time="1962" id="3" action="miner"/>
  </events>
</pingus-demo>


PS: Does anybody know if libxml can read not well-formed XML files,
aka. files where the last end tags are misssing? Could be handy for
unfinished demo files since, the files always miss the
</events></pingus-demo> tags if something crashed or deadlocked.
