Animation stops when crossing sim

I think that this worked before the 1.5.8.

When I wear my AV object, it starts an animation. When I take it off it stops the animation. Simple huh? But now when I cross a sim or TP, the animation stops. I have to detach and wear the object again. I swear this was working yesterday, but maybe I made a rookie mistake in my script...

CODE

// Postmark Jensen 13dec2004  Free to copy and mod.  DO NOT SELL
//Drop this and an animation into an object, and when worn the animation will start.  
//When detached the animation will stop.

//animation
string ani = "Compact";

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0,"Oink"); //made for my flying pig avatar
    }
    
    attach(key attached)
    {
        if (attached != NULL_KEY)   // object has been attached
        {
            integer perm = llGetPermissions();
            if ((perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION){
                llStartAnimation(ani);
            }else{
                llRequestPermissions( llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION );
            }
        }else{  // object has been detached
            llStopAnimation(ani);
        }
    }

    run_time_permissions( integer permissions )
    {
        if ( permissions & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION )   // permission granted
            llStartAnimation(ani);
    }

}

I haven't herd of this happening, but if I can look at the script. Perhaps I could figure out what's happening.

Unless I'm much mistaken, crossing sim borders causes all attachments and things to enter the rez_object state, screwing up scripts and things. If you add llStopAnimation(ani); to the rez_object state, the animation will reset but then start again.. I think. Try it

No luck. Could you show me an example of what I should be doing?

I tried the following, which animates me when I rez it, but does not help when flying around.

CODE
// Postmark Jensen 13dec2004  Free to copy and mod.  DO NOT SELL
//Drop this and an animation into an object, and when worn the animation will start.  
//When detached the animation will stop.

//animation
string ani = "Compact";

anim()
{
        integer perm = llGetPermissions();
        if ((perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION){
            llStartAnimation(ani);
        }else{
            llRequestPermissions( llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION );
        }

}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0,"Oink"); //made for my flying pig avatar
    }
    
    on_rez(integer foo)
    {
        anim();     
    }
    attach(key attached)
    {
        if (attached != NULL_KEY)   // object has been attached
        {
            anim();
        }else{  // object has been detached
        llStopAnimation(ani);
        } 
    }

    run_time_permissions( integer permissions )
    {
        //llSay(0,"permissions");
        if ( permissions & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION )   // permission granted
            llStartAnimation(ani);
    }
}
