  unique floors in random maps will basically do nothing at all, or worse, 
really screw things up.

  That is because unique floor information is stored based on map name.  random 
map names are basically just an increasing value (goblin001, goblin002), so the 
unique stuff would be stored as goblin002.  When the goblin maps reset, the next 
series will start at a higher number, and thus, the unique info won't be found.

  IF the server does restart, then the unique names may be used again.  But then 
at that point, the new map and last unique map are not likely to match, so the 
unique stuff is not likely to show up as expected (and if the new map size is 
smaller, unique stuff could be out of the map bounds).
