Shooting the rat-ant nest doesn't remove the smashed nest #17

Usually, if you shoot the nest this happens:

>SHOOT NEST WITH GUN
The nest and all it contains is destroyed.

>EXAMINE NEST
You can't see any nest here.

But if you smash the nest first:

>THROW TAPE LIBRARY AT NEST
The nest smashes into fragments and the rat-ants stop dead in their tracks! They
frantically evacuate the nest and immediately begin constructing a new nest at
the opposite end of the cage. Rat-ant babies are being carried across the cage,
and warriors watch you suspiciously.

>SHOOT NEST WITH GUN
The nest and all it contains is destroyed.

>EXAMINE NEST
The nest is a jerry-built construction of odds and ends precariously stuck
together. Rat-ants swarm all over it.

That's because NEST-FCN only removes NEST, not SMASHED-NEST:

           (<VERB? ZAP>
        <REMOVE ,NEST>
        <DISABLE <INT I-NEST>>
        <TELL
"The nest and all it contains is destroyed." CR>)>>
