    One brief stylistic note: I always use $owner to refer to the
    ArchWizard.  Takes up zero database space.

    [verb code deleted which first sets player and then tries to
    set_task_perm()]

    With all due respect, this seems like an awfully large bug.  The
    set_task_perms() code shouldn't care one whit about 'player' unless it
    needs to raise an error, IMO.

    What was behind this implementation?

    Woo, woo!  OpalMOO's back!       There is nothing more precious than
    Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
