    I've seen this happen with sleep/sanctuary as well, but figured my stealth was terrible at the time. Is it possible the monster has nowhere to run and auto-recovers?

      Looking at the code, it seems that it is due to the fear timed being reset if a monster doesn't do anything during a turn.

      Code:
      	/* Hack -- get "bold" if out of options */
      	if (!did_something && mon->m_timed[MON_TMD_FEAR])
      		mon_clear_timed(mon, MON_TMD_FEAR, MON_TMD_FLG_NOTIFY, FALSE);

        I updated to 4.0.3 just now. I just noticed something and I wonder whether it's deliberate?

        When I recall to a level and then try to go upstairs, the game won't let me That goes for both stairs created by the game and those magically created by me.

          Sounds like you have the forced-descent birth option turned on.

            No, I haven't. It worked in 4.0.2, too.

              I went back to 4.0.2, using the savegame from 4.0.3, and everything worked as expected.

              How lucky we are, that Nick keeps everything compatible

                  Same with priest. Apparently there is dice-line in class.txt for that spell even that that spell is just mass-tele other for evil.

                  [EDIT] looking at the file it seems that dice has some other meaning than just damage. For example all detections have dice-line.

                  I have no idea how those are used.

                    At a guess, that's the range indicator, so Banish Evil uses 100 tiles as the input parameter to the teleport-other effect it invokes. Of course, that doesn't really mean much of anything given how random the teleport code is.

                      Just had a stat-swap potion (!Nimbleness) with the message, "You feel very dextrous!", but without the corresponding negative in another stat. My assumption is that Dex got both increased and decreased. I didn't think that was possible. Is this a bug? I always thought the stat-swap had to be to a stat other than the one increased.

                        This can happen if the stat to be reduced is already at the minimum 3.

                          Oh, yeah, you reminded me of that before, but I forgot. Sorry about that.

                            spoiler generation bug (OS X)

                            I originally filed this under the 4.0.2 bug thread, but it seems to have gone unfixed in 4.0.3, so here goes.

                            I ^C'd a character, and tried to generate object spoilers from the tombstone screen.
                            The game proceeded to show messages of "auto-inscribed a scroll of recall," auto-inscribed a scroll of phase doc," "auto-inscribed a scroll of identify" ad infinitum, without ever returning me to the tombstone screen. The only way out of this is to force-kill the application.

                            Other observations:
                            • It seems to be looping through the three scroll auto-inscribes I have defined. The auto-inscribes for staves, rods, wands and spell books never seem to come up.
                            • The bug is triggered regardless of whether I actually have the scrolls in inventory, and is 100% reproducible.
                            • It is only the object spoiler generation that is affected; other spoilers seem to complete with no problem.
                            • The object.spo file does get generated prior to the app entering the infinite message loop.

                              I can't reproduce this - looks like it's related to something character-specific. Did the character have auto-inscriptions for those, or any other, items? And what platform are you on?

                                I can reproduce this. Windows version.
                                Generate a new character.
                                Load a pref file with auto-inscriptions.
                                Quit the Character; the Word of Recall scroll gets auto-inscribed.
                                Generate Object spoilers (a). Infinite loop.
