   The permonst pm_soldier declarations were patches based on previous
fixes I sent to Mike, but didn't post. In those fixes I was changing
the soldier declaration from mons[56] (or something) to &pm_soldier. I
later found that it should be mons[xx] after all. Anyway, what this
means to anyone installing the later patches is that any changes to the
soldier definitions should NOT be made after all. Just make the patches
for the other pm_ monsters, leaving out the soldiers.
   Sorry for the confusion; I was looking at my latest copy when I posted
those fixes, and forgot nobody had seen the other stuff.
   Mike, I'll try to send you email on this sometime, but if you read this,
there is a problem with the fixes I sent you. The soldier declaration
should not be changed after all.
