The "you don't owe anything" message must have come because you were
holding no other food rations. In a recent game, I tried it and the
following happened... I ate one food ration off his floor, but was
holding 4 (already paid for- I had them when I came in). He charged me for
the four I was holding.

This is in PC-Hack 1.0.3. (an early version).
