Issue #769, reported by k2 and diagnosed by entrez: eating a troll
corpse that revives on the last turn of the meal was using up the
corpse while the revival was in progress (unless the hero couldn't
observe the resulting monster), leading to a panic when trying to
use it up at the end of revival. Brought on by a recent change to
interrupt an occupied hero who can observe a hostile monster being
created nearby.
The fix isn't perfect. If revival fails because there's no place
to put the revived troll, the meal will be interrupted with one bite
left instead of finishing. If that happens, the interruption will
include a "you stop eating" message, just with no explanation why.
The partly eaten--almost completely eaten--corpse will remain.
