    The following just doesn't seem right....  (From 1.8.0alpha2)

    > @show me:moveto
    Object #2 does not define that verb, but its ancestor #57 does.
    #57:moveto
    Owner:            Brian (#2)
    Permissions:      rx
    Direct Object:    this
    Preposition:      none
    Indirect Object:  this
    > ;player:moveto(player)
    #57:moveto (this == #2), line 4:  Recursive move
    ... called from #-1:Input to EVAL, line 3
    ... called from built-in function eval()
    ... called from #58:eval_cmd_string (this == #2), line 17
    ... called from #58:eval*-d (this == #2), line 9
    (End of traceback)

    A -d verb generating a traceback?  This can't be right.  I didn't notice
    anything in ChangeLog.txt about this flag being changed, but I recall
    reading elsewhere that the debug flag would be changed in version 1.8.0.
    Is this a documentation oversight or a bug, or did I not spend enough
    time reading the release notes?
