I cannot quit rogue cleanly on my NetBSD box. When i  try i get
a lot of "waiting to lock score file-more-"
with a lot of delay between consecutive messages and finally
"could not open score file"
If i do it as root it finally gives me
a core dump too (i've deleted my sources, so i cant try to debug it even).
Hack, similarly, does not allow me to save a game  - "Unable to open
save file, continue or quit"...

Has anyone ever tried these games and encountered this problem?
Has anyone ever played these games or are they just dummies put for the
sake of completion... ? ( I observe the version of hack on my m/c is
older than the one on my SunOS 4.1)
