The game should probably refuse if you try to light a second match #40

I'm afraid that you have run out of matches.
The match has gone out.

The match and the matchbook are the same object, so even though you have presumably lit all five matches, only one appears to go out. It's not a serious bug, because the matchbook no longer provides light, but it does look a bit funny.

The matchbook in Zork II seems to behave the same way.
