I eventually did figure that out about the monsters. That actually makes
quite a lot of sense and I've played many other games where landing right on
a monster is instant deth. I myself didn't notice the other bug but aybe I
just haven't jumped on gold in so long that I never had occasion to find
that bug. I agree. The patch does seem quite stable. Now that I've got my
Laptop I can put Monty on that instead of on my mom's computer. I probably
won't have very many games on there since it's mainly intended for college,
but I probably will have one or two installed to play during the evenings in
the dorm after I'm done studying.
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go.

Hi, Bryan.
If you land directly on a monster it is instant death. If you land next
to one you will lose health points only.
However, that said I did notice one small bug left after jumping. I just
found out in my last game if you jump and land on an item such as a coin
rather than picking it up Angela will fall and die. I'm going to have to
patch this miner bug and correct this, but other than that I think the
new patch is pretty stable.
