I was playing as a Wizard and had reached level 12.
I killed 'Z'ombie, picked up it's corpse and inmidiat at it.
Suddenly, I get the message :
		"Ulch -- that meat was tainted!"
		"You get very sick."
(Snif, Snif, I didn't have a potion of healing or a tripe ration)
After looking at the code for some time I found the bug.
What I didn't notice was that I already had a corpse of a Zombie
in my inventory. The program added one to the quantity but left the age
of the corpses at the age of the old corpse.

Actually I don't think there is a easy fix for this bug.
One possible solution is to show every corpse as a seperate item in 
your inventory, but there are other ways as well.
