Well, not really: the lattices end up being in the right place,
but the meshes they deform are in the wrong place. This is
not just a problem with RE_rotateBlenderScene() as my rant indicated,
but a problem with update_for_newframe() (and similar code).
The problem appears when you jump more than 1 frame, e.g., when I
use the arrow keys to jump 10 frames or to jump to the start/end
frame of the animation I get incorrect deformations -- but the
lattice itself is where it should be (as far as I can tell).
When I move only one frame, I don't see this problem.
Also: if CFRA is set to the first frame of the animation
and you press 'ANIMATE', your animation is fine, but if
you CFRA is not the first frame things are screwy.
I guess something is out of sync with the where_is_*()
stuff.
