DESCRIPTION
	What is a bug?
	A bug is something in the creation that does not work as intended.
	They might be seen as flaws in the world, and should be removed. In
	order to make NannyMUD a better place, bugs should be reported when
	found; if not, how can they be fixed? There are two commands available
	to this end, 'bug' and 'report'. Both makes it possible for you to
	make a bug report without the help of a Wizard.

	There are several different kinds of bugs, and some are quite hard to
	detect. Others are very easy to spot. The bugs will be described here
	as they appear to mortals; the details that wizards get will not be
	revealed.

	1/ The 'wrongess in the fabric of space' bug.
	   This is very easy to detect. You do an action, and get the above
	   as a part of the bug message. Use the command 'bug' on the spot.
	   Be as detailed as possible; what you did, what you expected would
	   happen etc.

	2/ The 'drop all stuff' bug.
	   This is also very easy to detect. Suddenly, you drop all and
	   everything you are wearing. If this happen, we need to know what
	   things you had, and quite possibly what you had before, and where
	   you have been in the game. This is not an easy bug to remove; it
	   will help if we can talk to you. Use 'bug', then talk to a wizard.
   
	3/ The 'cardiac arrest' bug.
	   There is no doubt you will note this. You get a message about it,
	   as do the people in the same location as you. This is a serious
	   bug, and usually it is due to malfunctioning equipment.

	4/ The 'monster doesn't hit back' bug.
	   Typically for this one, the monster starts hitting you, then stop.
	   If you include what weapon you used, we'd be much obliged.

	5/ The 'infinite amount' bug.
	   In some cases, monsters/items re-appear in a very short period of
	   time, like every time you enter a room, or when you pick up an
	   item, leave the room and the item reappear when you re-enter. Many
	   players think this a boon, but just you wait until it is an
	   infinite amount of aggressive monsters...

	6/ The 'money less than zero' bug.
	   If you manage to get a negative amount of money, you should report
	   it at once. The effects on the game are as negative as the amount
	   you have.
