Hi,
	I have some more bugs that have cropped up in Omega, and the fixes that
seem to work. I have posted the list to the author of Omega, who assures me
that these and other bugs will be fixed in the next release coming soon.
However, for those of you who can't wait, heres what I've found. I have
only described the fixes rather than supply diffs - my solutions are probably
not THE solutions.

	The first bug causes a core dump, and is found in "oaux2.c". The
situation in which this occurs is when a monster disengages from a battle and
runs.  In the procedure "tacexecute", the DISENGAGE case in the switch statement
contains two consecutive calls to "movemonster". The correct procedure
is "monster_move".

	The second error occurs when a player surrenders to a guard. The guard
remains hostile, following the player to gaol, eventually killing the player.
The guard accepts the surrender in "m_guard_talk", in the file "omonf.c",
but does not have the status changed from HOSTILE. The fix is to add
the call "m_status_reset(m,HOSTILE)" to the block of code in which the player
is sent to gaol.

	The last bug occurs when a player is bitten by a tsetse fly. The 
player is woken instantly (ie, at the next tick). The problem occurs because
in "otime.c", the flag Skipplayer is always set to false each tick, even 
is Player.status[SLEPT] > 0. The solution is to only conditionally set
Skipplayer, ie
	if (Player.status[SLEPT] <= 0) Skipplayer = FALSE;
