[net.games.rogue] Nymphs screwing up inventory

I've run into the same bug several times where
after getting hit by a Nymph I find that more than
one article has been taken and that my inventory
is *totally* screwed up. 

For instance, once upon encountering a Nymph,
I dropped a two-handed sword, wielded my bow, 
shot some arrows to no avail, the Nymph struck 
and took something (not the two-handed sword). 
Fine, then to re-wield my two-handed sword, 
but wait....It's gone! And I have lost most of what 
I was carrying. My, that was one helluva sneaky Nymph!
There's nothing like being on level 15 with only
a ration of food and 8 sets of "12 +0.0 arrows".....
(which is what I was left with after this mystery
attack).

I've also run into a bug that only allows you to
type a single character, and no matter what you type
it saves the game. When you restore the saved game,
the same thing continues to happen until your saved
game is invalidated because somehow it gets "retouched"
and your score is no longer legal.


And the funny thing is that I continue to play........
