We have encountered the following bug in  phantasia  3.3.1+  (the
one  with the modifications by Chris Robertson): If a player dies
while he/she is the king, he/she is not  completely  killed.  The
number of players in the game is not reduced (I believe this hap-
pens even if the dead character wasn't the king) and, more impor-
tantly,  if  someone  else tries to become the king, they are in-
formed that they cannot do so, because the king is still playing!
New players are informed in the title page that the current ruler
is <null>, whose level is that of whoever died last.

Does anyone have a fix  for  this  annoying  bug?  (Or  is  it  a
feature?)
