Maybe I was a bit unclear: I'm _not_ talking about the Initial_Clock /
Final_Clock settings in the .INI-File but the 'initial_frame' and
'final_frame' identifiers in the scene language. The bug is that
Subset_Start_Frame / Subset_End_Frame affects these indentifiers while
according to the docs it should not. (See also Anders K.'s post)
