  Catching up on old messages.

  It seems proper to me that non peaceful players would attack anything, 
including the DM.  Perhaps something so that players don't attack dm's would be 
in order?

  What's a little confusing is why he would die.  Unless the dm tried to step 
into the player, I can't really see why attacking the dm he would take damage. 
In fact, looking at the code, it appears there is specific case of 'if target is 
dm, they never take damage'.

  Is there any mention of what killed the player?

  OTOH, arguably this isn't terrible in this particular case (I don't feel too 
sorry if a pk'er gets killed).  But I could see other situations where dm 
summons someone, and you don't want them to die.
