fixed: the bug where you pass through a monster
I found it, folks.  The symptom is that if you and a monster are
heading for each other head-on, if the alignment is right you
will pass right through each other.  (Except that Clyde will get you.)
The bug is in the routine pacman in pacman.c.  Search for the loop
involving dokill.  You'll see that if any monster does not eat you,
killflg is set to false, wiping out any previous monsters that did.
The fix is to remove the else clause, and to put
	killflg = FALSE;
before the beginning of the loop.

Now we need a fix to the gold count bug.  The code looks right here, too.
