I posted this to net.games.rogue quite some time ago, but recently found
the article sitting in the /lib/news directory, so apparently it never
got out to the net, for some obscure reason.. Anyway, here it is again..

I had a rather unusual experience with a trap in rogue v 5.2 today, much like
the 'no trap there' bug. I was on level 17, and moved off of a square to find
a trap where I had been sitting. I hadn't noticed any message about being
injured from the trap, so I did an 'identify trap' and got:
Weird trap: 7--More--
I experimented with moving on/off of the trap, and nothing seemed to happen.
My characteristics didn't change, and unless it was affecting the parameters
of the game or something, it wasn't doing anything visible. Has anyone else
had a similar experience?
