There is a defect in the code that allows properly equipped players to detect the presence of a character in GM hide mode.
The cause itself is clif_changelook(), which is hardcoded to announce its change to AREA and doesn't handle cases when the subject of changelook is in gm hide. This packet gets sent on numerous occasions - when warping, flywinging, @warpto-ing, changing equipment and who knows what else. Receiving this packet without knowing that the subject is nearby guarantees that there is a hidden gm nearby.
