Summary	0007376: Wrestling opponents after targeted charge attack causes repeated charge attacks
Description	I've tested this three times, and the results are almost the same. If you target a charge attack at someone, then grab him and try to wrestle, then as long as the opponent is eligible for a charge attack, you will charge - inflicting a random melee attack in the process, including with a weapon if you have it.
Steps To Reproduce	Create an Outsider adventurer, he will spawn with a spear and a dagger. Drop the spear, creating a free grasp. Walk up to anyone, and Shift+A a nonlethal attack on them, using for instance a kick, and make sure to use the 'y' Charge option. Now Shift+A again, and select Wrestle. Use your free hand to grab the opponent by any bodypart. Wait until the opponent stands up, then try to throw him with your grasp, or gouge an eye, or do any other wrestling move. You will instead do a random melee attack and charge at him again.
Additional Information	As long as the enemy is on the ground, or you do not use a targeted charge attack, the random melee attacks don't seem to happen. The attacks may also sometimes happen when you try to initiate the grasp, rather than do any wrestling move. The only prerequisite is a targeted charge attack having been carried out on the opponent. Using a move-command to attack at random does not stop this behavior, but using another targeted attack without the use of Charge attack does.
