If you have no weapon wielded and you #pray to the gods, if they decide
to bless your weapon, they will try to uncurse your rings instead. If you
are not wearing any rings either, nethack will core-dump (except on a vax).
Also, due to a typo, it always uncurses your *left* ring, even when it says
it's doing the right one (in the rare cases when in *doesn't* core-dump!).
