The thrown potion of oil, which was extracted from any chain
during the throw, still had its timers attached when the call to
splatter_burning_oil() was made. If that killed the hero, a
panic would result during bones file creation (saving timers)
because (obj->where == OBJ_FREE) on the potion.
Remove the timer prior to splattering the oil inside.
