You proabably need to mark the animation as non-looping. To do this
update to the latest svn and add "!LOOP" after the limb anim definition:
anim talkStopS = { body([15-20]) !LOOP };

Most of the animation stuff is handled by the costume itself. Afaik the
engine never explicitly stop anims, it just start new ones. In fact in
v7 and v8 they pushed the idea even further and the AKOS format include
a mini language with variables, conditional jumps, etc
