Reported last August by <email deleted>: the code
that decided whether hero poly'd into a pudding would be split when being
hit by an iron weapon always reduced damage by u.uac if armor class is
negative, whereas the normal amount is -rnd(-u.uac). So player pudding
with good armor always got maximum reduction. Probably had little actual
effect on game play; puddings can't wear armor so would need to be using
rings and/or spell of protection and/or have eaten rings of protection
while in some previous metallivoric form in order to get good enough AC
for this to matter.
