Note the points that really got to me:
	1)	I was able to get away, and it looked like this:

                  -----------
                  |.........|
                  |......@..|
                  |.........|
                  |........F|
                  --+--------

	then I got held.

	2)	Also, when a nasty came up to hit me FROM ANY SIDE, I
		could not strike back except by throwing things.  Whenever
		I tried to attack a nasty next to me I got that dumb
		message, You are being Held!!

I'm still convinced it is a bug, but then only the creators of the game
could adequately answer that (you out there guys?)
