[crossfire] Drop confusion with spooky action at a distance

[Otto J. Makela]

I believe I've found an interesting (server side?) bug.

If you have a container on the ground (let's say a quiver), you open
it while standing over it, and attempt to drop something into it with
"drop xxx" ("drop arrows", even if no objects match) something strange
happens and the container disappears from view while remaining open.
Dropping an item with the mouse from the inventory doesn't do this.

Moving away from the (unseen) container will normally close the
container and it will appear back in sight. But if you open a second
container on the ground while the first one is unseen, the first
container never gets closed correctly when you move away from the spot
(rather strange messages get displayed "You close second container
(open) (active)", "You open quiver (open) (active).") and spooky action
at a distance ensues.

At this point, trying to pick objects other than which fit into the
container will result in "You can only put arrows into the quiver (open)
(active).", picking up arrows from the ground will magically transfer
them to the open container and using the keyboard comma (which usually
picks an object from the ground) will retrieve arrows from the quiver
into your inventory.
