I've just picked up the latest version of nethack and had no trouble
compiling it but I've encountered some strange problems when trying to run
it.

Most of the time it works OK but after anywhere from 1 - 6 games instead of
running it crashes after the copyright message with the error

  init-prob for 4 (301%)

Sometimes a reboot fixes things so it will run and sometimes it won't.
If I make a new executable that always works initially, but I'll eventually
get the error above.

Anybody have any clues?

Barbara
