Two crashes, a deathgrip that would not let go, and your name back

 - Crash fix: donating an item to your manor could crash the game
   if you had not built a donation room yet.  It now tells you so
   instead, which is what it always meant to do.
 - Crash fix: falling could crash the game when you landed
   somewhere with a way down that led nowhere.  You now land and stay
   landed.  Both of tonight's interruptions were these two; our
   apologies for the bumpy evening.
 - Bugfix: DEATHGRIP lets go when the fight ends.  It was only
   counting down during combat, so if the fight ended some other way
   the grip simply stayed on -- and while gripped you regenerate no
   hit points, mana or movement at all.  If you have felt inexplicably
   stuck after a fight, this was why.  (Reported by Tulip.)
 - Bugfix: new characters get a capital letter again.  For a few
   days it was possible to create one without.
