in RC3, during the Berlin/Mart - mission,
I have seen an alien fire at an already dead civilian.

I'd say: It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Why should they believe it's dead? Meybe it's only
pretending to be dead... so the aliens just want to be sure.

I believe I fixed this issue in trunk revision 4792. Now aliens will consider moving onto other targets if their original target dies.

It certainly makes some missions play much better (e.g. the harbor mission where often an alien would take 4 additional shots at the civilian it just killed).

It also makes the aliens more dangerous :)
