*ACTUALLY* hehe - what you've experienced is something *entirely*
different, I don't believe they're related - it's just a lag-bubble popping
on you. If you ever see a message like "You swing at <playername> and
miss! <Playername> died!" send a tell to that player - they died exactly
when you were zoning in and somehow the server got confused about who was
doing what... Happens to me all the time, (at least once a night) so I
really believe it to be lag-related.
