Summary 0004696: Wielding a vampiric weapon while not satiated warns of same, and then wields it anyway, resulting in death by starvation!
Description The summary pretty much covers it. I had just finished clearing Vaults 8, and found an artifact Demon Blade. I was not hungry, but upon wielding it got the following messages:

As you grasp it, you feel a great hunger. Being not satiated, you stop.
You feel stronger.
You feel a dreadful hunger.
You are starving!
It sticks to your hand!
m - the cursed demon blade "Zyivi" (weapon) {vamp, Str+1}
You have starved to death.
You die...

In the screenshot, you can see that I'm not at a hunger level of "Hungry" or below.

It seems like I recall this happening in a previous game, a few days ago, where I tried to wield a vampiric weapon, and it gave the "Being not satiated, you stop." message, and then wielded it anyway, though I must have had a bit more nutrition that time, since I didn't die. I just figured I had mis-read it or accidentally hit the wrong keys or something.

Anyway, I have no save file to attach, since, rather frrustratingly, this killed me.

I hope the screenshot is enough.

OK, did a bit of testing in Wizard mode, and Vamp weapons don't seem to prevent you from wielding them, no matter your hunger level. I created a demon blade of vampirism, and wielding it gave the "You're not full enough, so you don't wield it" message, but then wielded it anyway. Unwielded it, then wielded it again, and it did the same thing, only it starved me to death this time.

Tried it with a demon whip, and it worked right the first wield, saying you don't wield it, but the second attempt to wield it failed as described above.

Not that it's likely to matter, but all these occurrences were as a Deep Elf Necromancer.

I tried to reproduce this problem from trunk, but I haven't been able to. Can you report the exact version number of your executable so I can test using the same version?

Wasn't able to do it in the wizard mode test I just tried in:

crawl_tiles-0.10-a0-1160-g5c90495

Was able to in this version:

crawl_tiles-0.10-a0-1097-g2445df1

Sorry, I thought I had already put in the specific build number above, but there was a server error in submitting things, so I had to redo it, and I guess the build number got left off or something.

Ok, looks like this was fixed in trunk on October 3 by commit 9799e0e.

So it's fixed then.
