     find all those cases, so as people report the problem, its no too hard to fix.

      Here's another case: When you're standing on top of a chest and it is

  This problem unfortunately isn't so easy to fix.  Since the thing resulting in 
objects being placed on the space (destruction of a container) is unrelated to a 
player being on the space, there is no way to know  if there is in fact a player 
on that space except by looking at all the objects.  The code that destroys the 
object has no idea this may be the case, so can't pass the right value into 
insert_ob_in_map to say insert below the player.
