To All Those Brave Souls Who Transcended Angry Sys-Ops Thank You. I have received 2 copies of Nethack 1.4.? So, thank you all for your patience and forebearance. I (and others) appreciate greatly the time and trouble taken by those who sent me copies. Once again thank you Ron Hall Bell + Howell IPSD

I ran lint on nethack and came up with an interesting potential bug -
BLINDFOLDED is defined as LAST_RING+11
Blindfolded is defined as u.uprops[BLINDFOLDED].p_flgs
*and*
uprops is struct prop uprops[LAST_RING+11].
As far as I can see this is addressing one past the end of the uprops array
which should cause blindfolds to be screwed up. Has anyone had trouble with
blindfolds? should uprops be size LAST_RING+12?

Has anyone had trouble with >blindfolds? should uprops be size LAST_RING+12? I found it quite easy to crash the game using the blindfold. Just get into wizard mode and teleport to hell with the blindfold on. Then start to search the level. You should get the message " At get null a 00 00 " which will soon be followed by a segmentation fault. I think saving the game prevents the crash. If you don't get the "at gets null" message start moving up levels with the blindfold on. It will happen sooner or later. Could someone post a patch for this? dave arpa: dave@umbc3.umd.edu bitnet dave@umbc2
