In spite of the authors pleas to replay via mail, I am posting this because
of feel that it is of general interest to the everyone.  I am contantly 
finding myself caught by srogue's paralysis bug, but after a few untimely
deaths, I figured out how to save myself: interrupt the game with a ^C ( or
whatever your interrupt is).  It will ask you if you want to quit - say no
and continue playing.  You are unfrozen and can beat on it again.  Note that
you must do this *quickly* before it kills you.
