I looked into setting up this flag properly using the grep method,
but there were still some weird issues.

I've commented out all the FLAG_BERSERK stuff in the CVS repository.

What I tried was:
 Adding V_BERSERK and FLAG_BERSERK to loader.l and to loader.h.
and to the variables arrays in loader.l.

We don't need FLAG_BERSERK until the gods-balancing happens, so
I'm going to leave it commented out ofr now.
