As far as I know, uber-jackal( there are some other monsters that also
produce uber effect) problem is not a bug. And even if it is a bug, I
wouldn't want it removed because it increases the excitement of the game
and
it also makes you think. ADOM and a lot of other RPG rely heavily on
random
effect. So it doesn't matter that you did everything right, there is
always
a chance that something unpredictable will happen( there could be a
vortex,
a gorgon, a ghost lord, a ki-rin, a emperor lich etc.( all from my
personal
experiance), just waiting behind a closed door for you to open them and
before you could do anything, you are already dead). While this is
frustrating( I bashed few keyboards in my time), I wouldn't want it any
other way.
If you don't like this things happening to you, than maybe ADOM is not for
you. I hope you don't give up on ADOM and continue to play it. This things
will continue to happen but it's up to you to learn from them and use this
experience in the future games( next time you see a lonely jackalware in a
room, you'll think twice before charging in and maybe you'll just lock
that
damn beast in). Don't be spoiled by quick fixes, they ruin the experience
of
this great game.
And now to answer your last question. Yes, there is a patch that *fixes*
your problem. I think it's called windows patch or windows patcher. It's
been discussed here before so google it if you really want it.
