[b36] Restart with Same Character doesn't seem to work.

Problem: Upon death, selecting the "Restart with Same Character" option (as opposed to "Restart with New Character") seems to do nothing other than type my name in for me. Fully-implemented, this would be a nice time-saver for Roguelike difficulty the way that the Quick Start was in Tome 2, putting me right back into the game with the same birth options, but, rather, it takes my male Halfling rogue on Insane difficulty in Roguelike mode and puts me back onto the character-birth screen with a female human warrior on normal difficulty in Roguelike mode (it saves that), but with the same name, saving me no time over Restart with New Character, I presume. I have to reselect my race, class, sex, and difficulty.
[EDIT] I used to think that this was just a mistakenly un-implemented feature, since I've played many times and this was the behavior every time, but I just made a character on Normal difficulty and tried it, and it seemed to work. Maybe this problem only occurs on Insane difficulty? I'll have to do more testing, but I'm inclined to agree, now, with the response below this post; Restart with Same Character "sometimes breaks."
