Title: poss bug in save/restore of games
Article-I.D.: hou5e.254

I have a problem with a nice little game I was playing. Perhaps some-one
can explain it (I doubt that it fixable, at least to save this game).

The bug manifests itself on restoring a cheaters game which has been
saved/restored a number of times (I was going down one level a night).
Having cleaned up level 23 and saved the game, on restoring it prints
out "Infinite tc= loop", and proceeds to screw up the terminal modes
(on an hp2621a, it seems to forget how to HOME the cursor and how to
go UP one line). It tries to play the game, but it is as though it
is doing no UP line movements at all. Needless to say, everything
soon gets too confused to continue (as it thinks it HAS moved the cursor
correctly). Any explanations?

This version of rogue is "version 4.R (mctesq and rar were here)" on
UN*X 5.0. The same binary used to be "version 3.6.?" (same trailer) on
UN*X 3.0.1, before we converted.

While I'm on the subject, has anyone in Holmdel got a more up-to-date
version we can have ? Binary is fine (source preferred, obviously).
