LB2: Pathfinding problems

Description
If Laura escapes to the reception room with the giant Ramses bust, the murderer eventually arrives there but doesn't kill her, the game stops responding and the top menu is disabled with the exception of the "?" icon help option. Also, if she closes the left exit in the pterodactyl room, she can't move until the doors are opened again. No console output in both cases, I attached a savegame below in the pterodactyl exhibit.
Game: Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra (CD/DOS/English) Game Version: VGA CD v1.1 ScummVM Version: 1.2.0svn52134 OS: Win32 (XP SP2)

Merged duplicate bug #3048213 into this one. The saved game is the same. From that bug:
"Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra (CD/DOS/English), version 1.1 Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra (DOS/English), version 1.000 ScummVM 1.2.0svn52199
Situation: Laura enters mastodon skeleton room from the right Bug: Laura takes weird u turn before resting on correct entry spot. No console output.
Attached savegame. Saved at start of weird motion, all movement shown before regaining control of the mouse is pathfinder weirdness."

Merged duplicate bug #3050596 into this one. The saved game is in the same spot for the floppy version. From that bug: "Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra (DOS/English), version 1.000 ScummVM 1.2.0svn52268
Situation: Beginning of Act 5, Laura is chased by murderer Bug: Murderer chase animation stuck at left end of the room. If chase times out, murderer clubs Laura from that spot and Laura falls to the ground wherever she stands in the room."

All of these problems are caused by the same issue: we avoid plotting a path along screen edges in AStar() inside kpathing.cpp. This is different per game (e.g. if we disable that for LSL5, Patti walks through a wall in one scene). Disabling that code removes all of these bugs

just checked with youtube. Laura is supposed to run away. Problem is her pathfinding doesnt return anything, so she stays there and the murderer gets stuck on her. Assigning to walter.
