kicking coins bit (trunk only)

     While looking into the ``NH343 bug - tamed a dog in a shop by kicking
food without being charged'' report (it's reproducible with current code),
I spotted a problem with some post-3.4.3 code.  Ancient compilers can't
handle initializers on auto arrays; this was probably meant to be static in
the first place.
