  This is true.  What happens is that there is a small chance (I don't know
how much, I haven't looked at the source) that when someone dies they will
become a ghost.  The entire level is then saved in a file called bones_XX
where XX is the number of the level.  When someone enters level XX, there is
a chance that rather than getting a new level, they will get the ghost level
instead.  If they die, they will become part of the ghost level.  I have had
levels with as many as four ghosts.
  After a certian amount of time (it may be random, I don't know) the level
will be outdated.  Someone will go down there, and then hack will give a
message saying somthing about the level being outdated (I can't remember
exactly what it says) and will throw away the bones_XX file.
  I hope that this helps anyone who is interested.  I also welcome any
corrections.
