	The contr is a player specific addon that monsters never
	have. As you point out, for monsters its always a NULL pointer.

	Monsters would find jumping usefull as a means to escape
	players or to damage them. Sadly, under the current monster
	AI, no monster is smart enough to use this skill well. I 
	think for the time being your patch is the correct way to 
	go.
