[BUG-6973] Bug 5962 causing issues with spellfire/unity weapon scripts

[sl-service-account]

Steps to Reproduce

Fighting in various battles and one and one

Actual Behavior

Many weapon systems throw a damage prim, and set range based upon how long the prim "lives". The most popular of these is Spell Fire / Unity weapons. Suddenly, the different range settings for different weapons (eg dagger = short range, sword = longer range) are not working. These are set in the thrown damage prim by setting a timer, at the end of which llDie() is issued. I have tested a wide variety of the weapons now, and they all seem to have the same event (die) delay. Most are set between .07 to .23 timer settings.

Expected Behavior

For the scripts to act as they should and as they have for several years

Other information

This is costing people a lot of time and money wasted that they may not want to reinvest in SL
