0009873: Monster Lookup Crash
After noticing a zombie mutant creature of some kind or another, I tried to look up the information on it with ?/M "mutant". This particular search ALWAYS crashes the game "Unfortunately your game ended unexpectedly."

Other normal searches seem to work, such as m or merfolk.

additional searches:
mu does not crash.
mut produces a crash
zzz does not, produces "no matching monsters."

after replaying the level I managed to encounter the monster that triggered my search, the "mutant beast zombie". The zombie itself doesn't seem to throw any errors, either when e(x)amining and (v)iewing it, or when killing it.

"A mutant beast zombie.

A corpse raised to undeath by necromancy."

The game does not properly save when the crash happens, throwing me back to the last previous save, or the last time I entered a new floor, allowing me some level of online save scumming.

Fixed in trunk (0.17-a0-1576-gb64763f), thanks! Now it will show you the stats for a larval stingbatfireweirdshockox beast. There is currently no way to look up a different tier or facet combination with ?/m

I also removed mutant beast zombies from random generation (0.17-a0-1577-g7afbf46), because I'm pretty sure that was not intended :)
