[rec.games.hack] Patch 5 eating bug

pb1p+@andrew.cmu.edu (Peter Glen Berger) (10/24/89)

Much as I hate to point out a bug that helps me do well....


Step 1:  Eat some food.
Step 2:  Read "Blech!  Rotten Food!, etc, etc, etc"
Step 3:  Be very upset
Step 4:  Type "e"
Step 5:  Watch Nethack say "You finish eating the food ration.  Yum!"
or somesuch positive message.

This is totally bogus.  If the food is bad when you first eat it, it
should always be bad.  Anyone offer any suggestions to fix this?
