This is the section of code that checks for "E-" not unwielding your
cursed whatever.  This is not a diff because this is from our original
1.03 sources.  I suspect many people have trouble with 1.03 because there
were (probably) two different postings.  When we updated to 1.03 I
requested sources from several people, but the "data.h" files came
with dates differing by about 2 weeks.  Anyway, here is the 'fix'.

--- code is from hack.engrave.c ---
 	if(otmp && otmp->otyp == WAN_FIRE && otmp->spe) {
		type = BURN;
		otmp->spe--;
	} else {
		/* first wield otmp */
		if(otmp != uwep) {

			    if(!otmp)
				pline("You are now empty-handed.");
			    else if(otmp->cursed)
				pline("The %s %s to your hand!",
				    aobjnam(otmp, "weld"),
				    (otmp->quan == 1) ? "itself" : "themselves");
			    else
				pline("You now wield %s.", doname(otmp));
			    setuwep(otmp);
>			}
		}
		.... etc ...
