Message-ID: <39900@gremlin.nrtc.northrop.com> Date: 27 Jul 92 17:41:46 GMT Sender: news@gremlin.nrtc.northrop.com Organization: Northrop Research & Technology Center, Palos Verdes, CA Lines: 26 Does the following happen on your system? 1. Create the /var/games directory (so rogue has a place to put its scores) 2. Start the distributed copy of rogue (do NOT recompile) 3. Quit immediately - creating a score record 4. Restart rogue and this time, allow yourself to be killed by a monster - causing a score record to change Does your system reboot? Mine does - no panic, no messages, no crash dump, just a reboot. If you rebuild rogue - that version will core dump with either a segmentation violation or memory fault (see my earlier post about bugs in stdio) - but the distributed program (which is actually just a link to /usr/games/dm) cause the system to reboot. Anyone got any ideas - anyone got an Emulator to look at this one? /dec Dwight E.
