Search beyond lit area?

[kaypy]

I keep on getting "you have found a [trap|secret door]" when I haven't actually gotten close enough to see what I have found.

This seems a touch odd.

The relevent code seems to be around 93 in cmd1.c/search()

The los routine used here only checks for obstacles and not light.

Would player_can_see_bold be a better choice here?

Good catch. I'm not sure if Gabe intended trap detection to be a 'sixth sense' which didn't rely on visibility. So this might be WAD. I'll point him at this thread next time he's around, if he doesn't find it first.
