Package: slashem Version: 0.0.7E7F3-2 Severity: important When the player sacrifices a corpse at an altar and the Holy Spear of Light appears as a god gift, the game says: <quote> begin_burn: can't get obj position Program in disorder - perhaps you'd better #quit. </quote> The game also creates a file "paniclog" (see the attached file).
The gift is made in this way: * dosacrifice() in pray.c calls mk_artifact((struct obj *)0, a_align(u.ux,u.uy)) * mk_artifact() in artifact.c allocates memory for an object by calling mksobj() * mk_artifact() sets the value of the new object, making it into an artifact * after the artifact is created, dosacrifice() places the artifact on the altar by calling dropy() The bug is caused because: * when mksobj() in mkobj.c initializes an object, it sets its location "nowhere" (otmp->where set to OBJ_FREE) * when mk_artifact() makes an object into an artifact, it calls oname() * oname() in do_name.c calls artifact_exists() if the object is really an artifact * artifact_exists() in artifact.c calls begin_burn() if the artifact is a light source and if it is not Sunsword * begin_burn() in timeout.c calls get_obj_location(), assuming that the object is somewhere in the game, but dropy() is not yet called Severity is set to important because the bug makes slashem append the error message to whatever file named "paniclog" in the current directory without dropping the setgid privilege. paniclog can be a symlink. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages slashem depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-4 shared libraries for terminal hand ii slashem-common 0.0.7E7F3-2 Files common to all slashem-packag slashem recommends no packages.
