When you put in dual_wield code and gave the character a second attack
with it, you added another call to hit() im assuming.  What you need to do
is put a FIGHTING(ch) check before you call the 2nd hit.  What is
happening is you kill the mob on the first hit and are trying to call the
2nd hit with no victim, cuz the mob is already dead.

Hope this helps...
