This was mentioned once earlier, but it has surfaced again, so I guess not everyone has heard. To those of you who recieved my 5.2 rogue distribution, it has a bug in it which can cause wonderful games to not be added to the score file. There is a very simple fix in the mach_dep.c file. in the loadav() routine, there should be close(kmem); before returning. Otherwise, all the available file descriptors will get used, and thus making the score writing section fail. I highly recommend that you fix this at your site, even if you don't currently use load average limiting, because if you ever do decide to, you'll never remember this warning. Ken
