I recently played a game as a spelunker in which shopkeepers seemed to
be sleeping in rooms other than their shops.  I carefully went nowhere
near the shopkeepers, looted the shops (the loot wasn't marked
"unpaid", it was free for the asking), then ran for the stairs down.
In the first case, the shopkeeper left his shop before I got to him; in
the second case, I visited the shop once and met the keeper, left to
kill some monsters, then returned to find an empty shop.

Has anyone else seen this?  I've played a lot of games from this binary
(hack version 1.0.3 with two unrelated mods), but have only encountered
this behavior during one game.  I am quite sure that no ghost levels
were involved, as I play on a single-user workstation (no load average
blues!) and had just deleted the old bones files before beginning.

Is it a feature or a bug?
