Fire following me?

Well, I rem'ed out all three instances of oil_trace from the zones.cfg file and the "fire following me" effect is still there.

I have a hunch that it has somehting to do with previous damage sustained. Whenever I load the saved game I hear the crew say "we're taking damage sir!", even though there was no recent attack. That is followed shortly by the fire effect if I switch to the outside view. Strangely, it's not there if I immediately go to the outside view.. I have to run a few seconds, maybe switch to map view or something, then if I go outside it's there. And while I can sail away from it (ie, it's fixed at a location on the water at the point where I first went to the outside view), if I switch to map and run a bit further, it comes back right next to me when I go outside again.

Weird. Something related to the act of initiating the external view must be triggering a "damage graphics" effect in the envirnonment around (but not on or in) my submarine.
