  What happened to you is this:  When you pick up an item and start eating it,
Hack puts that item at the BEGINNING of your inventory.  If you successfully
manage to finish eating it, it gets taken out of your inventory and all returns
to normal.  The above situation was caused by the interruption... The tin
had been picked up, placed at the start of the inventory, and stayed there as
item 'a'.  This seems to happen when eating something from your inventory as
well.  Sound okay?
