Does rogue ever check for EOF from /dev/tty?  Rogue hangs here in endless loops
on occasion.  For the most part, this happens when the game is being played
on a remote sytem through the "Purdue Enginering Computer Network (ecn)".
If the local machine goes down, the program executing on the remote
machine should probably recieve an EOF for every getchar().  If it never
checks for EOF, it will never exit.
Is this in fact the cause for endless looping in rogue??
