If I attack an NPC by standing next to it and attacking with something

and call monster_npc_call_help() to alert nearby monsters. This is in
server/attack.c: hit_player() at about line 2072. If I attack the
monster by running at it, then the code in server/move.c: push_obj() at
about line 481 does not call for help.
Is that intentional?
Also, in mosnter_npc_call_help(), it uses object_set_enemy() but does
not clear the unaggressive flag, which doesn't seem to make the NPCs
move and attack me in my testing.
Is that also intentional?
I remember looking nearby in that neighborhood of code, and so my guess
is probably not. There are a lot of code paths that should result in a
monster calling for help, so my guess is that there is some code
duplication that makes this happen inconsistently.
(If I remember, I was looking at how monsters that are asleep, when
attacked through a certain code path, call for help...)
If you have a fix, I would welcome it to be committed.

Kevin
