Summary: coredump when putting money in condo safe

[warning - line eater at work]

Here's another omega bug: If you buy a penthouse from the Rampart Arms, and
then try to put money in it's safe, omega coredumps.

And here's a fix: add a new declaration to function l_condo in file "osite.c" -

   void l_condo()
   {
     pol ol,prev=NULL;
     int i,done=FALSE,over=FALSE,weeksleep=FALSE;
     char response;
     pob money;

and then add an if statement after the call to getitem later on in l_condo -

      menuprint("d: Retire permanently.\n");
      menuprint("ESCAPE: Leave this place.\n");
      response = mgetc();
      if (response == 'a') {
	i = getitem(NULL);
	if (i == CASHVALUE) {
	  money = detach_money();
	  if (money != NULL) {
	    ol = ((pol) malloc(sizeof(oltype)));
	    ol->thing = money;
	    ol->next = Condoitems;
	    Condoitems = ol;
	  }
	}
	else if (i != ABORT) {
	  if (Player.possessions[i-'a']->blessing < 0)
	    mprint("The item just doesn't want to be stored away...");

The function detach_money should be declared as -

   extern pob detach_money()
