exploting features

Another possible explotation for food:

It seems as though one has a better chance of finding food after one
goes through a fainting fit. (but only levels ~1-~6)  Thus by intentional
fainting at lower levels one can pick up what seems a larger share of food.

This is not a bug however!  Consider a dungeon that didn't care whether low
levels had food.  Seems to me a higher mortality rate basically due to
starvation.  Not much fun.
