You know what: I couldn't find this very line in any of my backups of
the patch files i sent to Circle ftp. And it definitely doesn't belong
there. Really strange.
My latest backup of the autoeq.pl11.patch.gz is exactly the same
except that there's no "ch->in_room = 1;" (and the line numbers are
1 less from this line on :-). So I guess I have to put my patch there
again.
