  This is now fixed in CVS.  The new code broke it in the sense that the old 
code was broken.

  Basically, before, the rangevector/enemy wasn't being properly set up.  This 
proved not to be a problem, since the distance value in the rangevector wasn't 
being used because of the logic.

  I made soem changes so that this is now properly set up/initalized.  Did some 
quick tests, and it appears to work just fine.  Monsters head towards the 
player, but not all of them - I went to the mad mages tower, and the ones nearer 
to the door would attack me when I first opened it, but the kobolds against the 
north wall didn't do anything until I moved closer.

  I don't, and per my previous message, IMO this is the more correct thing to do.

  Note that the resist values for blinding reduce teh duration of effect.  Thus, 
a monster with resist blind 95 is only blinded for 5% the length of time as a 
monster with resist_blind 0.

  But certainly some number of monsters should be immune to blinding.
