[comp.sources.games.bugs] Problems with NetHack 3pl7 under Xenix 386: Illegal Instruction

zap@savage (Zap Savage) (07/29/90)

I know this isn't the most up to date version of NetHack 3, I have pl9 in
the wings, but I need pl8 first and I can't find it on uunet.  If someone
has it, I'd appreciate a copy.

But I doubt that's the problem.  I haven't been able to pin down the problem
since it just seems to happen randomly.  I get "Illegal instruction" and the
program dumps.  I'm looking now at patching slightly to allow trapping that
signal and saving the game at that point in hopes that I can rerun it from that
point.
