Summary: 


	A little while ago I was roving around one of the deeper levels of
the dungeon with a dead cockatrice (ohboy) in hand when I was swallowed by
a trapper.  Unthinking, I gave the stomach of the beastie a taste of
the sting of the nasty weapon when suddenly, too late, I realized that
I was inside the monster.  The result?.  "You hit the trapper with the
cockatrice corpse --MORE-- the trapper is turned to stone --MORE--
you destroy the trapper!"

	I think that this behavior is questionable, especially in the
light of the fact that if a cockatrice hisses at you from outside said
monster both you and the monster turn to stone.

	Comments?  Ideas?  Suggestions?  Or should we just forget the
whole thing?  This is one situation where hack does not punish what I
consider to be the stupidity of the player with death.
