Bug - Floating Items after death - 1.81(132) Linux

[XtremeBain]

I have noticed this a few times recently in which after dying, a player's items get tossed(assuming as result of his player speed) but sometimes they don't quite come back to the ground.  I don't if this is as result of them colliding with another entity in the air(player, pball, etc) or if it's something completely unrelated.  I haven't played enough on 1.821 to see if this problem still exists, so just let me know if it has been resolved already.

Usually it's caused when they land on another player.  Once an object comes to rest, it's removed from the physics list so you're not wasting CPU cycles on stationary items.  At least I thought that was the cause, though now that I think about it, items should fall through other players.  Hmm.  It must happen during the brief moment in time while the items aren't triggerable.
