I asked that very question in this very forum a few months ago --
and got several contradictory answers.  It was generally agreed
that petrification doesn't always ensue, but beyond that there
was a divergence of opinion.  The main possibilities are

-- The chance of being petrified depends on the percent-wounds
	you take from the attack.  (Since petrification attacks
	tend to be SA=100, this simplifies to 100/SAR.)

-- The chance of being petrified depends on your constitution.

-- Petrification only sets in if the attack kills you.

If anyone out there has better knowledge, please share it.  Meanwhile,
my advice to you is to seek out and attack monsters with this special
attack -- and to report back to us on the outcome. :-)
