      Except there's a nice issue: if you go just west of the door, use magic

  This is now fixed.

  It wasn't a bug specific to the map - in fact, every boulder/rock on any map 
could be destroyed.

  I'm not sure the root cause.  IT may have be related to material code, but I 
haven't bothered to look through the past to figure out the real cause - it 
isn't that important.

  The real issue, and what I fixed here, is that some objects just shouldn't be 
destroyable, no matter what material they are set (walls come to mind here 
also).  So I jsut changed the code so that objects with no_pass set, which is 
mostly walls and those rocks, can't be destroyed by damage.
