40.3 left the camera after a cry. While Tommy cries, player +0x188 bit 64 holds the camera. When the hold ends (0x8002953c, 0x800c4a3c bit 0x40000000), the camera is reset:

• normally by 0x800290a4: the follow camera, the player's room, the level's height (0x800c3f5c: 1024, 512 in levels 4 and 15, -1000 in 7);
• in levels 9, 20 and 21 instead by 0x800291f8(camera, player, +0x4a, 0), its own kind again, so a room's fixed camera (kind 3) stays. The level 9 doc saw +0x4a = 3 before and after the cry.

The port kept whatever camera it had. cried now drops the room's fixed post and puts back the level's height, except in 9, 20 and 21. The test the_camera_after_a_cry checks two cases: level 9 keeps a kind 3 room's camera after a cry, and the first other level with such a room gives it up. Game::fixed_camera reports the post for tests.
