I tend to agree with Lewis - the gold went with the Leppies.
I recently caught a treasure zoo. (Put on my ring of conflict - great fun).
I was able to pick up all the gold in any pile, but the corpses and
other booty depended on my carrying ability - gold doesn't seem to affect that.
But I'm also still playing 1.0.1. Maybe it's changed in 1.0.2. 

Question - what is the potion that gives the message :
  "Wow - do you feel great!" ????
Sometimes I've failed to see any effect, and sometimes I've seen my strength
increase.

Some other hack hints:
A piece of armor CAN be rusted down past -3. I had a splint mail go to -8,
giving me an AC of 12! Chucked that baby.

If your dog precedes you down a trap door, he does not go wild, but he is on
the edge. One accidental bump, and he turns on you. Make sure you feed him
something to prevent this - you'll get "the little dog devours _____".
