The following is a fix for the ring of protection from shape changers.
The problem is that, if one is swallowed by a chameleon masquerading as
a trapper, and then one puts on a ring of protection from shape
changers, one instantly dies because of it, since you are now inside a
non-swallowing monster. I figure that if you put on a ring to protect
you from a monster, it shouldn't make that monster kill you. Here is a
context diff which fixes this problem.

What you are describing is the equivalent of putting on your seatbelt as you go over a cliff, then dying in the crash's fire because you can't get your seatbelt off fast enough. If you are eaten by a shape-changer you have already made_your_mistake/had_your_bad_luck and will (probably) die. Life (hack) is a bitch, let's keep it that way or hack will turn into a milquetoast game in no time. "Mommy! Mommy! I picked up the cat by the tail and it scratched me!"

Calm down and stick this sock in your mouth and listen to mother... :-> It seems to me that, as soon as a chameleon has changed into a Dragon, I am in big trouble. However, if I put on my protection ring **poof!** I am protected from the Dragon. Now, when I've been swallowed by a chameleon posing as a trapper, I am in big trouble. However, if I put on my protection ring **poof!** I am dead. Uh, does this seem consistent? Can you so "no it doesn't?" I knew that you could. I just figure that if it claims on the label to protect you, killing you instead isn't proper behavior. Ken Arnold P.S. Of course, if you don't LIKE the fix you don't gotta install it...
