I will take a look at it and see what I can do.

If I have understood it correctly, that was the purpose of PERM_DEATH. No
XP drain and/or level loss, but if you manage to get resurrected you loose
your stuff and quite a few skills?

That's what seems to happen now, anyways. If there is any XP drain, it is
marginal - and I feel it should be. Both having the XP drain of a
NO_PERM_DEATH server and the hassle of having to resurrect, learn all the
skills again and finding your stuff kinda makes dying a pain :)

PERM_DEATH should probably have some advantages over NO_PERM_DEATH,
shouldn't it?
