I too encountered a segmentation violation upon winning a game
of Larn. I crossed the threshold with the potion, listened
to the doctor tell me about everyone's former lack of confidence,
saw the revised score sheet come up, followed finally by the
familiar pithy Unix message. Unlike the other poor unfortunate,
my score was posted. However, I didn't get any opportunity to
pay taxes, so subsequent games were a bit hazardous until they
were finally paid. Also, games now start out with ZERO
INVENTORY, which seems a bit unfair. Further, I didn't see
any of the mail messages from jealous, congratulatory, and
mercenary sources, which the existence of the .mail*** files
led me to expect. I assume that tax paying and fan mail would
have come after the segmentation violation (yes, I have religiously
avoided ANY perusal of the sources).
This was on a Sun-2/120 running "4.2bsd", which Sun prefers to
call their version 2.2.
