Being confused by an umber hulk does not stop travel #81

An IMO flaw in Nethack is that if you travel with the '_' command and an umber hulk confuses you, the game continues with the travel command execution instead of aborting it. That way it may be disastrous if you travel on Medusa's level and a newly created random umber hulk appears, leading you straight into the water without possibility to just stop. If, OTOH, you do a command repetition '.', waiting for, say, blindness or confusion to wear off, this will be interrupted.
