- Does the following happen on your system?
-
- 1. Create the /var/games directory (so rogue has a place to
- put its scores)
- 2. Start the distributed copy of rogue (do NOT recompile)
- 3. Quit immediately - creating a score record
- 4. Restart rogue and this time, allow yourself to be killed
- by a monster - causing a score record to change
-
- Does your system reboot? Mine does - no panic, no messages,
- no crash dump, just a reboot.
-
- If you rebuild rogue - that version will core dump with either a
- segmentation violation or memory fault (see my earlier post about bugs
- in stdio) - but the distributed program (which is actually just a link
- to /usr/games/dm) cause the system to reboot.
-
- Anyone got any ideas - anyone got an Emulator to look at this one?
