Mmmm, pizza. 
I somehow feel there's something odd with this theory: only 26 vars would be possible! One for each letter (Well, if &mydir and &mwhatever interfere...). The problems occurs when you've got a variable called &m and another called &mwhatever, and only in text strings (choice menu's and say() strings). How else would &magic, &magic_cost and &magic_level exist next to eachother.
To check this, do the following:

say("&magic &magic_cost &magic_level",1);

You'll see 3 times the &magic value, but in the second and the third case with _cost and _level added respectively. This bug REALLY should be fixed in a new version of the engine... cost me half an hour to find out.
