There are two versions of doom v1.1 (both with the same name!), the first
version has that "save" bug... the second doesn't (there seems to an extra
slight delay when picking up objects, though).

The second version has file sizes 1199184 bytes (for doom1_1a.zip) and
1015241 bytes (for doom1_1b.zip).

I was about to register doom, but if the registered version has that save
bug I think I will wait :-(
