	If you are wielding a dead cockatrice and you hit any monster with
it you see a message similar to:

	"you hit the (whatever) with the cockatice corpse --more--"
	"the (whatever) is turned to stone!"

	The problem is that the (whatever) is *not* turned to stone.
You only get the usual corpse.  If you tame a cockatrice with a scroll
of taming (or polymorph your dog into a cockatrice) when it hits another
monster you end up with a pile of rocks which is the appropriate (i think)
result.  There is a routine 'mstone()' which, i think, turns a monster
into a pile of rocks and is invoked when your pet cockatrice hits another
monster.

	Now the $64 question.  Should hack be modified so that hitting
a monster with a dead cockatrice will turn that monster into a pile of
rocks?  I think that this would be appropriate considering the effects
of a tame cockatrice hitting other monsters.  I believe that this
is relevant to all versions of hack although we are using 1.0.3 here.

	Opinions, comments etc. all welcome.
