	Its a feature. When a shop is looted a shopkeeper will
sometimes chase after the robber and follow him around saying
something about paying up. If the level is or becomes a ghost level
the next person into that level will find the keeper out of his shop.
Don't worry too much about him tho, unless he is actually in your way,
since only being attacked will wake him up.
