The change that caused this, actually fixed a bug where no_armour was
*completely* ignored when players equipped things, thus making gods
banning amour pointless. My fix made players and monsters, under all
conditions, treat no_armour and no_shield consistently. While I agree
that it's too harsh for no_armour gods to block girdles, I'm somewhat
concerned at how your change breaks consistency. IMHO the real fix to
both issues at once would be a flag to allow banning of equipping
specific object type/subtype combinations, which would be much more
flexible and allow consistency while not being unfair for no_armour gods.
