At our site, a 780 running Rogue 5.2, we have run into an odd problem
with Rogue.  Some strange bug is causing rogue to hang, furthermore in
such a way that only a kill -9 will get rid of it.  This means that
naive users have disconnected their terminals from the game, and let it
run racking up cpu.  A few of these racked up 12 hours of wasted cpu, so
Rogue has been taken off the system until a fix is released for this.

Does anybody else out there have any comment on this matter.  I think I
have a fix for the problem, but it is difficult to test.  There is some
bad interaction between rogue and the tty driver which my be caused by
people trying to exploit the suspend/hup bug detailed on the net.
It is possible to get rogue hung by use of this bug, but this may not be
the only way.
