     In the Ancient Temple of Nefertum, there is a section past the
Guardian Key door that has nine panels (pressure plates or buttons,
or whatever you want to call them).
     According to the walkthrough and previous posts, the way to
get past here and get the canopic jar is to cross them in a certain order.
This order is on the wall in another part of the game.  There are three
patterns on the wall:

   X O O       O O X       O X O
   O X O       O O X       X O O
   O O X       O X O       X O O

    Supposedly, one of them (randomly picked each game) is the correct
order in which to cross the panels.  An earlier post indicated that you
should go very slowly across the panels.  In particular, before crossing
the next row, one should wait for the previously crossed panel to come
back up.

    It doesn't work.  I have tried each of the above three patterns
(which I verified against the wall just in case the selection of the
panels changes with the game as well).  I have tried going across them
as quickly as possible, and tried waiting (i.e., turning around and
watching) for the previous panel to pop back up.
    On a couple of the trials, I was teleported away before even reaching
the third row.  Specifically, while I am still on the panel in the second
row.  This happened even though I waited until the first panel popped up
before crossing the second.

    Any ideas?  Is this a bug in the game?
