 Perhaps, but exact cause of this bug was not found, it assumed to be fixed
 in recent (newer than 1.4.9rc1) snapshots.
 http://exult.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?f=1&i=358191&t=358191 :
 "We assume it has been fixed. With the not sure way to trigger it we don't
 know for sure. We haven't had any negative report though ;)"
 
 I propose to wait a little longer before update because (from thread above):
 "There's still some bugs that we want to fix and recent changes need play
 tested to make sure that we didn't break anything."
