[CF-Devel] Further bugs with regen rates.

[dnh]

Could not this strange bug peterm has been experiencing then be the same

holy symbol being applyed before the skill, until Mark made it always
apply talismans first. I suddenly get the suspicion that this same effect
is working on peterm's Torquemada character.

       There is code intentionally to do this.  Whether it should may be there is a
