for digesting a swallowed critter. The "you kill <critter>" message
was left implicit, but if hero gained a level, that made "welcome
to level N+1" look like it was issued out of sequence because it's
immediate and the "you totally digest <critter>" is delayed. Giving
the you-kill-it message explicitly makes things be more verbose but
avoids having the new-level message seem out of order.
and vs digestion. minstapetrify() was previously changed to
explicitly revert a shape-shifted vampire back to vampire form
when it was turned to stone. This does the same for monstone().
It also causes shape-shifted vampires to revert to vampire form
immediately when swallowed, so subsequent death via digestion or
engulfing damage doesn't have to deal with reverting changed shape.
I'm not convinced this is the right fix for either stoning or
being digested. Unlike with ordinary damage, where multiple hits
are usually needed to kill a vampire after it reverts to 'V' form,
here the vampire will be killed by the next successful stoning or
digestion attack in one hit. It ought to least try to flee.
There was no code in ohitmon() (for object thrown or launched at a
monster by someone or something other than the hero) to handle an egg
hitting a monster. Cockatrice egg is monsters' preferred missile,

without any chance of the side-effect that makes it be preferred.

teleporting away, but I haven't attempted to implement that.

"Applying the stethoscope at self informs:

This is reproducible with shorter character name "wizard" by being
"nominally neutral" or "nominally chaotic". I had a 2 digit level
but didn't notice that my AC took up only 1 digit and ended up
using 125ish blessed potions of full healing to get 4 digits of hit
points in order to get the line to wrap between "very" and "fast".
"But the message history with Ctrl-P shows:
"Message History
"
"Status of Xxxxxxxx (piously neutral): Level 14 HP 138(138) AC -15, very
"invisible.
The key was "Message History", indicating msg_window:full or other
setting which causes ^P to bypass the top line message window and
use a general text window to deliver all history lines at once.
The original feedback splits the line by replacing the space
between "very" and "fast" with a newline, which topline handling
notices and processes as special, but then leaves in place.
msg_window:full results in tty_putstr() case NHW_TEXT, which treats
newline as an ordinary character since it doesn't expect to see
that in text. Squeezing out three doubled spaces made room for
"very\nfast," on the top line. process_text_window() attempted to
write it there, but putchar() wrote up through "very," on one line,
then output the newline which resulted in "fast," on the next line.
Then explicit cursor positioning set things up to put "invisible"
at the start of that line, overwriting "fast," so making it appear
to be missing.

The interrupting message still follows the comma of the partial
sentence, but I don't see any sane way to fix that other than to
abandon the terse format altogether, and doing that makes #tip way
too verbose when the container has a lot of items in it. But #tip
inside shops now does that, since there will always be buy/not-
interested feedback interrupting the terse format in that situation.
For other situations, a full sentence message might end up following
a partial sentence list of dropped items.
There was a more significant bug. Dropping a hero-owned container
with gold in it onto shop floor sold the gold to shk, giving hero
credit. Subsequent #tip gave the hero credit for that same gold
when it spilled out. addtobill(obj) relies on obj->ox,oy to
determine whether events are taking place in a shop, and #tip was
relying on placement onto floor to set those, too late for shop
billing. The fix yields suboptimal results: you're given credit
when you drop the container, then during #tip when you spill the
contents, credit for the gold is removed, then new credit for it
is given. That's down to shop insanity, not tipping behavior.
