Fwd: Bug in Crossfire

[Moonchilde <jtraub+@cmu.edu>]

This was sent to me by one of the players here.
I'm looking into the problem.

I've also noticed that thaco can go highly negative.. is there some minimal
cap on how low it can go?

There is a bug in Crossfire that allows weapon speed to wrap around
into the negative numbers, effectively rendering the weapon useless.
One example of this occuring is when you use a dagger +4.
