Bug - Fixed Buying hair spray for the tower when not needed

(As originally posted over here, where it was suggested I start a new report.)

With r8635, I just started my trip up the tower. After clicking on the Gate to advance to levels 1-3, I saw this in my gCLI:

Tower Guardian #6: unrecognized.
Searching for "hair spray"...
Requests complete.

Purchasing hair spray (1 @ 24)...
You acquire an item: hair spray
You spent 24 Meat
Requests complete.

Purchases complete.

My penultimate telescope (I'll be getting the last lens next run) shows I don't need a hair spray, so Mafia doesn't need to buy it. I already had an NG, as I knew I needed one and created it when I got the parts, and FWIW I had spaced out my shore trips to acquire all three 6th Floor items.

(The first five floors needed: sonar-in-a-biscuit, disease, NG, spider web, and the mariachi g-string.)
 
What did it say for the 6th tower guardian? It appears likely that the auto-recognize code wasn't able to parse the 6th guardian correctly, hence hitting the override.
 
It said nothing, since he didn't have the telescope upgrade to look that far, However, it still tried to identify the guardian, and obviously failed. This is a bug in the code that (supposedly) specifically handles telescopes with either 6 or 7 upgrades - but only works for gfull telescopes.

I have no way of testing this, but revision 8685 purports to fix the problem.
