	In a recent version of PCMORIA I'm encountering
either a bug or a feature:  when trying to enter a store
(on the town level) it tells me "The door is locked". 
Even after several more runs, the doors are still locked.
This is a problem because my char may starve to death.

	In the helpfile, it is mentioned that shopkeepers
may refuse admittance (for a while) if you insult them too
often.  I don't think I have been doing this excessively.

	Also, I tend to kill a lot of townspeople while
up top, which although not mentioned in helpfile, may
encourage shopkeepers to lock doors.  

	Thirdly, I run several characters with the same
copy of the executable by swapping around moria.sav files
for each character.  The program may believe I'm illegally
keeping backups and decide to punish the character.

	Has anyone ever encountered this problem?  Any
comments/suggestions would be vastly appreciated.  I'm not
sure if my address below is correct, so a reply here would
be OK too.
