	In 1.0.3 this is NOT true.  I wanted to see if hack kept track
of such things so I 'R'emoved my ring of fire resistance around level 29
(coming up, no less) and immediately I was burnt to a cinder with the
appropriate message that appears.  What is described above sounds like
a bug since the necessary checks are not done to determine if you burn
or not.  (The above description does not make clear whether he had eaten
a dragon as well.  If he did, that would account for surviving.)
