Perhaps, but exact cause of this bug was not found, it assumed to be = fixed
in recent (newer than 1.4.9rc1) snapshots.
http://exult.sourceforge.net/forum/read.= php?f=3D1&i=3D358191&t=3D358191 :
"We assume it has been fixed. With the not sure way to trigger it we d= on't
know for sure. We haven't had any negative report though ;)"

I propose to wait a little longer before update because (from thread above)= :
"There's still some bugs that we want to fix and recent changes ne= ed play
tested to make sure that we didn't break anything."
