+- Fixed: The three-argument version of AActor::FindState() initialized a
+  two-entry array for passing to the main FindState() routine, but did
+  not actually pass it, passing the original primary label instead.
 - Fixed: SDL builds did not shutdown the sound system at exit.
 - Fixed: ThingCountSector and ThingCountNameSector did not remove enough
   entries from the stack, and did not put the result in the right slot.
