This is still easily reproducible in Lucid Lynx. If your high-score
slots are clear, you should be able to reproduce it by the end of the
second game, but it is sometimes pretty random. Though in my experience
it has never produced the error on the first game. After the first game,
change the default user name entry to something else. Most often (but
not always) after the second game, it will enter the user's name into
the high scores without any option to edit it. After the second game,
the occurrence of the error is seemingly random, but I agree that it
occurs about roughly 1/4 of the time. I have also used ctrl-h hints the
whole way through the game to speed this up (can't play as fast as my
wife), and it seems to make no difference.

There is normally no terminal output at all. I did however randomly get
the following a few times during a sequential set of games:

** (mahjongg:3033): WARNING **: Clock not started, cannot add seconds!

This didn't seem to affect the game, scores, or the bug in any way
though. If anything it seemed to produce the score entry bug less often
while it was randomly producing the terminal error.

I could try to run it with a debug flag, but have no idea if there is
one. Anybody know of one? There is no mention of it in the help or man
entries.
