Comment:

 This actually seems to be working as intended, at least according to the
 logic inherited from xu4. Several actions are flagged as "time limited":
 giving to beggars, being humble, hawkwind, meditation, or not cheating
 reagents. For those time limited actions, it uses the following to
 determine whether to discard the change(s):

         if (timeLimited) {
                 if (((_saveGame->_moves / 16) >= 0x10000) ||
 (((_saveGame->_moves / 16) & 0xFFFF) != _saveGame->_lastVirtue))
                         _saveGame->_lastVirtue = (_saveGame->_moves / 16)
 & 0xFFFF;
                 else
                         return;
         }

 If I'm reading this correctly, it means that for a second karma change to
 count, you simply have to walk at least 16 steps. Then you can talk to
 them again and get the karma to count.
