     In all earlier client versions, improved invisibility shows a "blinking"

      Fixed in CVS.  This is actually a server issue.
     
     
This same problem plagues the "hiding" skill...

Perhaps the same code affects both invisibility and hiding?

If so, a hiding character blinks in the DX client, but does not blink
in the 1.3.1 GTK client... and cannot be seen until he does something
to reveal himself.

Is it really a server problem?

The server version is 1.3.0.
