There was an amusing bug in V code that was fixed so I ported the fix — in early game, you could scum mimic pits, kill all the mimics except the ones that were mimicking rare items (potions of experience/augmentation, scrolls of banishment, ethereal DSM…), use teleport other on the mimic that would only teleport away the monster but leave the object on the spot, grab the item and use it for free (only the mimic coins are supposed to drop object, all other mimics are not supposed to leave anything behind when killed) — that would give endless amount of experience, augmentation and endgame items for free.

This was simply because teleport wouldn’t make the mimic “wake up” so now it does — “the mimic was really a monster! the mimic disappears” and so the mimicking object is deleted before the mimic is teleported away.
