The first of these. If you look at launch_obj(), there's an
obj_extract_self() early on, then all the tracking its trajectory,
then a place_object() when it comes to rest; since the thitu() call
kills you during the trajectory part, the boulder never gets re-placed
onto the map. This is, I think, a bug (and one that will apply to any
monster-thrown object that kills you, as well); reported to the
DevTeam.
