From the newsgroup: attempting to #chat to a gnome elicited "the gnome grunts" (because gnomes have MS_ORC sound, and MS_ORC is just a synonym for MS_GRUNT) even when the hero was a gnome. This patch makes MS_ORC (orcs, gnomes, kobolds, a couple of named demons) or MS_GRUNT (ogres, ettins, trolls, gargoyles) behave as MS_HUMANOID when the hero has same race. That by itself wasn't quite enough; hostile MS_HUMANOID monsters other than fake players wouldn't respond, so this gives those a generic message (threatening the hero). In a somewhat similar case, peaceful MS_CUSS monsters wouldn't respond; now they say something too.
