This change has two parts.
First, the Book of the Dead now has a special message in lava. This was
originally added by Steve Melenchuk (aka Grunt) as a precaution against the Book
burning up. While I'm pretty sure that the Book can't burn up in the current
codepath, the message is a nice touch and it doesn't help to add a safety check.
Second, always print the inventory destruction messages. The reason for this is
fairly subtle, but relates to the timing. By not printing the messages when
dying, the visible effect to the player is that if they have lifesaving, the
items burn up before they die, but if they do not, they burn up after they
die---the fact that they do burn up is visible in the dump or bonesfile.
This avoids a player being left standing on lava if their boots are burned up and
they survive the damage.
This change is originally due to Steve Melenchuk, fixed up by Derrick Sund.
If getenv("DEBUGFILES") yields a value then it takes precedence over
sysconf.DEBUGFILES or sys.c's #define DEBUGFILES. (It probably should
only be controlled via environment since it is not a system-wide
attribute, but I haven't taken out the SYSCF handling for it.)
USERPROFILE is always set on a Win32 box, and doesn't conflict in the
case of an MSDOS box. so look for our config file in this order:
1) USERPROFILE\defaults.nh
2) CWD\defaults.nh
3) USERPROFILE\NetHack.cnf
4) CWD\NetHack.cnf
after that, the settings inside can take over (PREFIXES_IN_USE).
Bug report included a pointer to a fix; this patch is a superset.
Gold pieces dropped on an altar by the player got their bknown flag set,
which is incorrect since bless/curse doesn't apply to coins. If a
monster (in reported case, a slain temple priest) dropped gold there too
then the two stacks wouldn't merge. For the normal !GOLDOBJ config, the
problem goes away as soon as the gold gets picked up. I didn't test for
GOLDOBJ but think two inventory slots containing gold can result.
The superset part is to not break agnostic conduct by dropping gold
on an altar since no information is revealed when doing that.
[This was one of the very last patches checked into the old cvs repository,
where the somewhat out of date message above was accidentally omitted.]
* Replace variadic debugpline() with fixed argument debugpline0(str),
debugpline1(fmt,arg), and so on so that C99 support isn't required;
* showdebug() becomes a function rather than a macro and handles a
bit more;
* two debugpline() calls in light.c have been changed to impossible();
* DEBUGFILES macro (in sys.c) can substitute for SYSCF's DEBUGFILES
setting in !SYSCF configuration (I hope that's temporary).
Remove deathdrops completely for cloned monsters
Revert corpse frequency decrementing for cloned monsters
Add new object 'blob of pudding' and corresponding tile
Set 'P' monsters to create that object on corpsification
...add script to go through and auto-renumber objects.txt
because there's no way i'm doing that by hand
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
