- Fixed several memory related issues that may or may not resolve the NT regen problems in prior versions.
- Changed sys jail to become a more effective "time out" for problem
users. This does *NOT* effect monster jail such as guards or the

commands, they will be placed in "isolation" for 30 minutes, where
they cannot speak, telepath, gossip, auction, broadcast, etc. They

If they exit, their timer does not go away, it takes up where they
left off when they come back.
- Removed quest resetting via the smoky black talisman. Players will
now be able to "pledge" an alignment after they have completed the
3rd alignment quest and before they have started the 5th alignment
quest. This will convert their quest flags to the appropriate
equivalent of the new alignment they have pledged.

- If you have completed the 4th alignment quest (Module 7: Savage Lands) and somehow lost your quest cloak, you may now get another one by asking your alignment leader about "Cloak". To avoid abuse of this option, quest cloaks can no longer be dropped or given away.
