A decent character died as follows: In mortal combat with an Umber Hulk, I
was alternately hitting and backing off to regenerate.  Reaching a bend in a
corridor, I took a step up and had the position

	#
	@
	UU##

whereupon the newly-visible U confused me, allowing the first one to do me in.

In another game I found that U's can confuse across rooms (I lit the room with
a staff of light).  I managed to zap it with a 'slow monster' and walk randomly
(spacing wouldn't have been enough -- it was only 8 spaces away or so).
Fortunately, I tended *away* from the beastie, and recovered just in time.
