play@turing.UUCP (01/31/85)

I just installed battlestar, and tried a few commands to
see whether the game worked, but the third command caused
a core dump.

Version 4.2, fall 1984.
First Adventure game written by His Lordship, the honorable
Admiral D.W. Riggle
        This is a luxurious stateroom.

        This is a walk in closet.

	You are now wearing a robe.
eat
Memory fault, core dumped.

Indeed.  It appears that if you eat anytime you get a core dump.

Shouldn't be too hard to nail.  First one with a fix wins.
