Screwy mobs

Recently on my mud I observed the following sequence of events:


----------------
You barely avoid  n;'s fist as he takes a swing at you!

> 
You pulverize  n; into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
You pulverize  n; into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
You decimate  n; into putrid fragments with your lethal claw!
n; hits you extremely hard.
You barely avoid  n;'s fist as he takes a swing at you!

> 
get all corpse
You get a pile of gold coins from the corpse of the efreet.
There were 1000 coins.
You get the Essence of Fire from the corpse of the efreet.

> 
You pulverize corpse into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
You pulverize corpse into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
Corpse tries to hit you but you easily avoid the blow.
Corpse hits you very hard.

> 
You pulverize corpse into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
You pulverize corpse into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
You try to claw at corpse but miss!
You pulverize corpse into a pool of blood with your deadly claw!!
----------------


...etc.

Afterwards, the mob in question (an efreet) became 'corpse', with alias
'bag'.  Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on here?  I have
looked for a possible cause and found none.  It should perhaps be noted
that the mob has a mobprog:

greet_prog 100~
  if isnpc($n)
    if isimmort($n)
	glare $n
  else
    kill $n
  endif
endif

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
