File physics goes bonkers in some cases with many files being commited/modified

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Generate the movie using config and xml attached
2. Watch movie ;)

The problem I am seeing is that when someone touches a LOT of files, which
we do sometimes in our project (small team, large codebase - sweeping
changes) names that are attached to a lot of files start wonking around
like crazy, like - from the bottom of the screen to the top of it, dragging
all the related files around...

Ya, it does this right now due to us screwing around with the code. 8)  We'll 
get the
kinks knocked out soon.

This has been fixed.  The names still wobble a little, but that is how the 
original
prototype worked.

Sorry, apparently code swarm is a bit "random" and the bug only appears 
sometimes.
Attaching a reduced xml and a config file with a zip that has the illustration,
because I had to run the simulation for like 10 times to reproduce it :/

(it happened 3 times in a row when I reported it initially ;)

As for the images in the package - watch "srichter", his name even disappears 
from
the screen for a couple of frames ...

Really sorry, apparently - I did not run "ant" after updating the project from 
svn
(the bug disappeared after updating and then reappeared again, so I thought 
that I
was running the new version) after recompiling the thing - everything seems 
normal.
Thanks.
