      this is the dump of the lava floor:

  Fixed in CVS.  the lifesave had nothing to do with it.

  the problem actually was that the spell code uses the maxhp field to see if 
the smae spell is hitting the same space more than once, and if so, don't put 
any more on that space.  That is sort of necessary based on how some spells move.

  The problem was that wasn't being set.  And since lava is also a cone spell 
(believe it or not), when it encounter the lava, it thought the spell was 
already on the space.

  I also believe a bug was opened a while back on this (but don't see it, so 
maybe it was just a mention) that if you cast a cone spell at another cone 
spell, you effectively neutralized it.  That shouldn't happen anymore either.

  Also, it does mean that cone spell should now do a bit more damage in the 
center (core) area, because that can still have up to 3 effects on the space 
instead of just one.
