When you start tob, you get a ring of regeneration in the initial inventory. You also usually get the helm of balduran, which increases the max hit points, but leaves the current the same (a separate bug) - you are injured.
This makes it possible to see the ring's problem. It causes flickering of the red "injured" character portrait button overlay. If you unequip it, things are fine.

Secondly, if you start with a druid, she doesn't get the helm but is injured anyway. If you unequip the ring, she get's 6hp back and is uninjured. It should heal, not harm, unless we have negative time. :)

r5228 eliminated the flickering. One last flicker happens when equipping the ring.
i think i fixed this
I close this as there is no more flickering anymore.
