I have seen a few complaints about the "Suddenly the dungeon collapses"
with the resulting "died due to a panic" in the record file but I have
not seen a fix yet, so here is one.
I don't want to provide diffs, becuase my line number are off from some
changes made elsewhere (like removing three consecutive assignments to
tmp). But around line 55 is the following code:
#ifdef KOPS
ct++;
#endif
If you play with KOPS defined, this has two effects: 1) it means that you
will never get a bat as a monster and 2) it means that if you genocide enough
monsters and go deep enough, eventually you will get an off-by-one error
in makemon() which will cause it to call panic. All you have to do is
remove these three lines (or not define KOPS, or rewrite makemon into a
reasonable function, or . . .) and the off-by-one error
disappears (and you get bats).
