      If I recall correctly, the cursed/damned information is used as a

No. First of all, savebeds are damned and have no_magic flag set.
This has nothing to do with the savebed functionality itself.
These two flags are set to prevent casting of magic/prayers on
savebeds.

The reason for this is that when players die, they often remain
with their fingers sticking on the (spell-)fire button for a while.
What used to happen then is that people roasted their precious
appartment with blast and flame after re-awakening from death.

To prevent this, savebeds have the damned and no_magic flags set.
