Several people have had this problem in the past, and in every case
the problem turned out to be that the individual with the problem
left out something in their patch-by-hand or .rej files. Wish I could
tell you exactly what it was they left out but I don't recall. I think it has
something to do with the copying of their id from one location (that only
characters have and is stock) to another (that was added for mobs as
well, and is used by %actor%) when characters log in.

In function nanny(), case '1', there is the assignment of GET_ID(d->character)
= GET_IDNUM(d->character)....
