I think we here at ittapp have come across an undocumented feature (ha!) of rogue that allows you to play forever. If you get killed, immediately do a rogue -r command and you will pick up where you left off. Chances are you will get killed several times before you extract yourself from the present situation and in the end you will have a negative value for hit points but this will correct itself as you heal. Hey, Ken, do you think you can do something to correct this problem (I don`t have a source listing)?

For some reason our reincarnation appears to have been caused by some strange protections on it and the scorefile. A simple change put an end to that. Also for those people who disdain cheaters, there is a simple fix to stop those people who utilize ^z/kill -HUP to reuse scrolls. We added a line in mach_dep.c that says 'signal(SIGTSTP, SIG_IGN);' and now nothing happens when you hit ^z. We also flushed our scorefile since all the total winners were all cheaters (shame on them). Steve Bramblett (ittapp!steve)
