Subject: Games not saving? (Bus Error)

The adventure-type games rarely save properly.  Either hack or rogue
gets a ``Bus Error'' shortly after getting a lock.
Larn's scoreboard doesn't work.

At first, a few of these problems were due to permissions in /var/games or
whatever.  However, I've since changed them to bin/kmem, which is what ``dm''
is SGID/SUID to.

Are these games actually buggy, or am I missing, say, a directory I need
to mkdir manually?
