I was meandering through the source looking for a way to identify spells 
within objects.  I managed to find something regarding corpses; they have 
some value of -1 or something.  I'd recommend grepping the source *.c and 
*.h) for "corpse".  It should reveal something.

"CORPSE" might also be worth a check.
