--- Begin Message ---Package: nethack Version: 3.3.0-7 Notes: * I only play in console mode (text mode on my PC), with IBMgraphics and colour. * I play under the uid 1000. 1/ I cannot reproduce it but sometimes the message displayed on the first line is nothing but funny characters. It has happened to me several times in months. But usually typing "O<ESC>" just after that restores things correctly. 2/ More serious, and a but I am able to reproduce from the saved file: Kirk the Knight died of a trickery. Last time this happened it was a problem with a bad block on my hard disk (still, the game should try it will be able to restore the game upon saving it). Not this time. -=-=-= $ nethack -u kirk Restoring saved game...Segmentation fault. [nethack copyright message] Then the terminal is broken: carriage returns does nothing and PS1's stack on the same line. "reset" fixes that. In nethackdir I can see: 1000kirk.<numbers> save/1000kirk (gunzipped then from the saved game 1000kirk.gz) recover says it cannot open the level 0. I was sad to lose Kirk. At next reboot I observed messages about nethack recovering a crashed game (I archived these messages along with the level and save game files and can send you these files if you want them). In nethackdir I could see the level files were cleaned and the save/ subdir contained a brand new 1000kirk file. I fired nethack up and sure enough, Kirk the Knight was back to life where I had left him. Not for long... Going down to Sokoban entry point and trying to climb up to Sokoban first level, I got the message "Cannot find level 69, someone probably removed it--More--Do you want your possessions identified?". If you want the files I mention, just ask me. I will try next time to not climb up Sokoban levels but I would rather have them restored since I had not finished cleaning them (a damn gecko made me lose on the last level: I had to destroy a boulder) and would like to go back there get the special object of the last level.
