[comp.sources.bugs] PC Nethack weirdness

KIMMEL%ecs.umass.edu@RELAY.CS.NET (Matt Kimmel) (12/18/87)

I've got PC Nethack to compile and link with Microsoft C 5.0, but I've
encountered a problem when playing it.  Everything works fine until
Nethack tries to create a store.  Levels without stores are created,
but any time the program tries to create a store, the computer resets.
I went through the program with CodeView, and the problem seems to be
somewhere in makemon() when the storekeeper is created.  I couldn't
find exactly where the bug was; it seemed to happen in random places
throughout that call to makemon().

Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a fix for it?  Would everything
work better if I compiled it with Turbo C?

Thanks in advance.
