Using multiple adjectives

Let's say I have an object called 'big bad wolf'. I can't have an object id of big_bad_wolf, so I define him as big_wolf and set 'big' and 'bad' to be synonymous adjectives in the vocabulary table. So far, so good. However, I have a problem when I examine him:

>EXAMINE WOLF
He has sharp teeth.

>EXAMINE BIG WOLF
He has sharp teeth.

>EXAMINE BAD WOLF
He has sharp teeth.

>EXAMINE BIG BAD WOLF
You see nothing special.

What the???

How can I use multiple adjectives for the same object?

I found a workaround for two adjectives.

big_wolf : object "big bad wolf" msg = "He has sharp teeth." adjective = "bad";

And delete the synonyms in the vocabulary{} section.

But what do I do if I have more than two adjectives, e.g. little red riding hood? I should be able to list multiple adjectives for any given object.

Multiple Nouns and Adjectives per object and recognised by the parser will be added to Adventuron, but not before jam close.

I will try to fix the two adjectives parser bug in the meantime. That's a good example of the parser assuming the player will only type one adjective, which is obviously a flawed assumption.
