My 19th level Valkyrie, with blessed +5 long sword named Excalibur,
permanent invisibility, -14 armor class, and so forth just went to the
core dump graveyard in the sky when she tried to go from level 26 to
level 27.
I was running nethack, v3.0, with no modifications from what was posted
other than setting the proper items in config.h and unixconf.h. This
computer is a ridge 3200, running ROS 3.5.
The error message I got was
received signal SIGSEGV (illegal memory reference)
illegal memory reference at address 736100D8
in the data seqment - hard memory limit exceeded
I vaguely remember getting this error message before when pointers got
screwed up. My guess is that nethack was trying to create some special
level, and screwed up someplace. Anyone have any clue as to what
happened? How can I keep from dying any time I get too good?
