Chances are if you're using the ascii xapobjs, it's probably due
to a difference between the new delayed-death issue and the previous death
procedure. Your analysis seems to be spot on. I'd add the call to either
delete the crashfile, or save the character with no inventory.
This code seems to work as expected without the ascii objects, so
I don't think it's a stock bug. I could be wrong.
