Bards Tale Amiga Glitch for Item Duplication

Hi I found a glitch that duplicates items. I don't know why it happens nor do I understand how to really control it but I have reproduced it 4 times now. Maybe it has to do with their names? They all come back dead and it doesn't seem to happen if there is a full roster.
For the record I'm running the latest slave of the WHDLoad version of the game but I don't think that matters. If you provide sufficient motivation in the comments I might try it with the floppy version sometime.

This is pretty wild, long-hidden secret uncovering is a cool thing. :)

Man it's crazy you discovered this. So you were just trading stuff between dead guys and stumbled onto it?

In an attempt to start a party totally from scratch I had been plowing through numerous expendable characters trying to build up enough money and gear. In this case when I tried to get my gear from the dead characters they swapped places and my gear didn't transfer properly so I took a closer look and thought "wait ... why does he all of a sudden have two swords?" :)

Since I made this video I've reproduced it many times and its reliable and consistent. It happens every time. I've done it on the WHDLoad version and from the floppy disk version too (both in WinUAE of course).
Here are two processes that I think anyone can reproduce:
Party of new(ish) characters) MULE1, MULE2, DEL1(dead), DEL2(dead), DEL3(dead)
- To copy an item from DEL1 to DEL3: 3, c, 1, t, 4, d then 5, c, 1, t, 4, d, then n, 4, 4 (then repeat)
- To give three copies of DEL3(Item1) to MULE1: 5, c, 1, t, 1, d then 4, c, 1, t, 1, d then 3, c, 1, t, 1, d (then repeat).
The second process is probably the easiest
