Game Mechanics: Skeletons

[Lancertan]

Since the patch it seems that whenever I try to give my skeleton pet an item, the game crashes. I've lost a good deal of bone chips testing this out.

Also all of the skeleton models are frozen stiff, even in death. This has been happening in Odus for me, and I haven't been able to leave yet to see if it is happening elsewhere. Am I the only one this is happening to?
