That's what it looked like to him.

The problems he had in getting out were two-fold:

1. It wasn't clear where he needed to stand.  To be honest, had he not
been standing on the ghost when I came in and said the magic word, he'd
still be stuck there.

2. The one time he did say the word, it didn't recognize it for some
reason (not having seen what he typed, I don't know if he failed to
capitalize it or what the problem was).

I think in this case having it be more obvious at least where to stand
would be the single biggest help, and the second one might be more of a
scripting issue (as discussed on the -devel list) then anything...
