  It shouldn't be any different than if the object was a non multipart object. 
However, the load code doesn't support multipart objects in the inventory.

I don't think the code to support this is very extensive.  I think all that 
needs to be changed is around line 235 in loader - it should check the return 
value for lex_load - if LL_MORE is returned, it then needs to link with the 
previous part.  The only problem as I see is that lex_load isn't keep tracking 
of the last object.  Fortunately, insert_ob_in_ob is simplified to the extent 
that the last object inserted will be in parent->inv, so linking it in should be 
easy enough - as long as the behaviour of insert_ob_in_ob doesn't change.


There are also potential programs if the object is merged with something else, but that shouldn't ever happen with multipart objects.
