There is a bug in nethack with regard to confusion and praying.
If you have been polymorphed into a bat, a yellow light, or an
invisible stalker, you are confused regardless of the value of
HConfusion.  If you pray, the game will keep setting HConfusion
to 0 until you are not confused (i.e., forever).  This can be
fixed by changed "in_trouble()" to look at HConfusion instead of
Confusion.
