I've already completed, Return to Zork v1.0, but when I saw the 1.1 update
mentioned, I grabbed it so I'd have the latest version before a friend came
over to play with it.  With the new version, we seem to be seeing a bug
that wasn't in 1.0. 

When you go to see the blacksmith, to pick up the cleaned up sword, if
you're carrying the rotten meat, the game hangs.  The blacksmith smells
you, and starts to make the "You stink!" comment, but my whole machine
locks up he actuall says it and I have to cold boot.  If we drop the meat
outside the smithy first, then we can go get the sword and pick the meat up
again afterwards.  I know this wasn't a problem for me when I played the
shipped 1.0 version.

Has anyone else seen this, or is it likely that I've got a configuration
problem?
