B04007 unknown corpse type revealed by hider

	"It was hidden under a green mold corpse!  It bites!"
	Never seen corpse from a never seen monster can be
	revealed by the hider.
	-problem is that the corpse of the monster is
	always created with dknown set to 1 when make_corpse() finishes,
	even in the case where you never knew what it was while alive.
