[net.games.hack] Shopkeeper bug

sanjour@cvl.UUCP (Joe Sanjour) (02/26/86)

I think I have found a new hack bug that can be exploited by
unscrupulous hack players (ie. me). You need to steal one
inexpensive item from a shop and get the shopkeeper to come
looking for you (teleport or dig your way out). Let him/her
catch up to you, then pay him/her. The shopkeeper will stay
at that spot indefinatly. You can then go back to the shop
and loot to your hearts content. You won't be stealing
because the room is not considered a shop if the shopkeeper
is not there! This is true for hack 1.03.

This really is a bug, maybe some industrious hack hacker has
fix for this.
