Avatar on team Twice!

hello everyone. i'm having a bit o' trouble here.
i've been playing SI (and enjoying every second of it . however, just today i noticed that on the healthbar list, there are 2 avatars. at first, i just ignored this, 'cause they both show the same stats (health/mana), and i figured it was just a minor bug. however, now that i've been playing for a while, i've noticed that it seems like the avatar is taking up 2 party slots. i remember that during the original non-exult version of the game when the lady in Bull's Inn offers to help you get hawk out of prison (her name starts w/ an S? selina?) and joins your team, that you could have all 3 normal members (shamino, dupre, and iolo) AND her. i couldn't though. as soon as she joined, iolo left. i'm thinking that the normal limit to characters is 5 (counting the avatar) so that you can have the main party of 4, plus one slot for the temporary plot-chars. anyways, for whatever reason, now that the avatar is shown 2 times, i can't get that 5th person w/out loosing one of my current chars.
this really isn't that big of a deal, as long as there isn't a time when you don't need to have 5 chars at once on your team. i know that towards the end (spoiler) you need the main four so that the banes can be created, but back in the day i never got much further than that, due to plot stopping bugs that i was never able to get past w/out cheating. (once i made it to the final part of the game, on that hidden island... but had lost the crown in my jouneys and still wasn't able to beat it, lol)
if anyone has any info on how i could fix this problem, lemme know. thanks for the help, and thanks for creating this wonderful program!
