Looks like the shopkeepers other special procedure was erroneously set to
be a shopkeeper. Thus the shopkeeper function checks to see if the mob has
another special procedure, and if it does (like say puff) then it executes
it. Here, the other special procedure is a shop special so when it
executes that, the new shop special checks for a secondary special and lo
and behold, executes itself again.
Check for places that shop_index[].func is assigned and make sure it is not
set to shopkeeper.
