I disagree with this "fix" - it violates the shopkeeper philosophy.
As it is now the shopkeeper will NEVER attack you unless you attacked
him first. This pseudo-fix would make the shopkeeper attack you under
other circumstances as well, e.g. when you fall into a shop through a
trapdoor while carrying a pick-axe.
