Yes, I cannot reproduce the bug on my machine, but reading the source
shows that it works fine for me by some coincidence. The problem is that when
you name or tame a monster, it is moved to a new monster structure but
there may still be pointers around to the old structure. I'll think
about this a little more, but the problem you mention is cured by adding
the line  if(u.ustuck == mtmp) u.ustuck = mtmp2;  to the routine replmon()
in hack.mon.c. Future versions of hack will use ustuckid instead of ustuck.

Below follows a diff between my current hack.mon.c and the 1.0.2 version.

But this is not a bug; it is quite intentional.
