I have no problem running nethack 3.1 (latest Version).
I installed the patchkit 0.2, applied all patches and
have activated the kernel option NONOP, which speeds
up some sort of i/O, leaving out some waits.

What patchlevel has your OS ?

BTW: I have some other problems with nethack.
Easch time, when a monster or I throws something,
then the screen gets confused and I have to redraw it with ^R.

It's not fun If I'm in a big struggle with several opponents.
After each move I have to redraw the screen.

Did somebody compile nethack with the define MINIMAL_TERM (see 
include/config.h). Did it help ?

Has somebody a solution for it ?

Thanks in advance
