Howdy!  I built nethack a while back for my 386bsd system, and everything
worked fine for the first day or so (games ran great, etc...), but then,
every time I tried to run it, I got 

init prob error for 4 (215%) or something EXTREMELY similar to that.

Tracing through some source code tends to suggest that it's dying while trying
to initialize some objects, but I can't figure out what's up.

A recompile of the system produces the exact same result---Everything works
great for a day, and then dies.

I'd rather not have to recompile nethack everytime I want to play a game ;-)

This is with 3.1.0.

Anybody know what's up with this...?


Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
