There was actually a fixes35.0 entry further down that covered off
that particular entry already which I missed first time around.

This is catching up on some things that were changed
in development years ago that Dave C. suggested be
documented.
For the record:
-The things that were evaluated and ruled out
are now documented in include/youprop.h so they don't
come up again.
- The things that were evaluated and deemed to be susceptible
to the intrinsic and thus led to a modification in the code
are listed below in this commit message.
Modifications:
- A crystal ball exploding on being applied
- Artifacts' blasting
- Being a fish out of water
- Being hit by Mjollnir on the return
- Being thwacked by an iron ball chained to you
- Boiling/freezing potions
- Broken wands
- Bumping head on ceiling by cursed levitation
- Burning (un)holy water
- Chest/door/tin traps
- Dipping a lit lamp into a potion of oil
- Exploding rings and wands (under all circumstances)
- Exploding spellbooks
- Falling downstairs
- Falling into a (spiked) pit
- Falling off or failing to mount a steed
- Falling on a sink while levitating
- Getting squished in a pit under a boulder
- Hitting your foot with a bullwhip
- Hitting yourself with your pick-axe
- Hooking yourself with a grappling hook
- iron-ball-pulling yourself out of a bear trap
- Jumping/Newton's-Thirding into something solid
- Kicking something that makes you go "Ouch!"
- Land mine explosion
- Sitting in a spiked pit
- Stinking cloud damage
- Thrown potion (bottle)
- Zapping yourself with a wand, horn or spell
- Jumping yourself out of a bear trap
From ais523's recent list of bugs:
If a long worm tail is blocking the door, and you're blind and not
telepathic, attempting to close the door marks the position of its head.
From an email received in late September 2014 before the git conversion:
> I was trying to close a door, not noticing that there was a garter
> snake there, and this message resulted:
> The garter snake stands in the way!
> I haven't tried it with any other monsters without feet, but
> "stands in the way" appears to be the wrong way to describe
> this situation...
Both of the above were found in the same function in lock.c

When the previous occurrence that triggered a segfault
was fixed, I didn't check for more of them. It turns out there
were more instances.
This also removes some dead code.
Changes to be committed:
modified: src/pager.c
Steps to reproduce the reported segfault:
Use / command, answer n, press space and enter
In do_look() variable glyph is only set to a proper
value if using the screen (from_screen) or the
mouse (clicklook).
On the code path that triggered the segfault,
glyph was being passed to mapglyph with a random
arbitrary value.
If glyph had been initialized at the start of
do_look(), it would have prevented the segfault,
but would have always displayed a giant ant or
something silly instead of the correct thing.
Don't use glyph except under
from_screen || clicklook.

I didn't include the above, just in case they don't happen.
The README can, of course, be updated again once they have
been tried.
