Viewer does not delete cells properly in Larger than Life.

When a spaceship that moves faster than light reaches the boundary, it is deleted; however, the area where the ship was does not get updated, so there is a false image of the ship. See the below RLE for an example:

It's working. Bear in mind that you are testing against development builds which are sometimes "work in progress" as changes happen.
