*SPOILER* help - is this a stupid S.T.A.L.K.E.R bug?

Hi folks please help me out, I bought this game today and updated it to version 1.05 started the single player and done a few missions up until you meet fox or whatever there name is. I explored up to the garbage post (but did not "load the next level") and killed a few military then went back to the guy at the start of the game to sell weapons and ammo. When I get there the "outpost" wolf is at is under attack by military. the military wipe everyone out; I wipe them out and want to sell all the weapons to the guy at the beginning and low and behold the door to him won't open!! grrr there is no way to open it and when I try nothing happens. sometimes if I run and jump and "bounce" into the door it opens slightly, but not enough to get through. I can see the guy behind it too. I suspect this bug has now made my game unplayable or am I missing something really obvious!? surely the game cannot be so poorly made as to have a bug like this in? I'm wondering if my attack on the military guys at the garbage place started some silly buggy war?

has anyone else had this annoying problem? and any suggestions?

thanks

Lucky this happened to you not so far into the game, this happened to me also. Some say you can bounce the door open by running at it sideways, or by lobbing a nade down from just outside. Neither of these worked for me so I just restarted. When you restart the first thing you want to do is knock over one of the cylinders just outside that door and make it wedge the door open. It will stay wedged open for the whole game from then onwards.

thanks for the replies, a great help

luckily I managed to bounce the door open and I've now wedged it open with the red canister. It astounds me that they could release a game with such a HUGE bug in like this and still not fix it 5 patches later!!!?!
