I'm having problems saving games in version 5.3 on a 4.2bsd system
Sometimes it takes a while to save a game.  When the game is restarted,
I get a message like: "Save file has been touched.  Score will not be posted."
The file has not been touched.  I suspect that the modification time is
written somewhere near the beginning of the savefile.  If time changes
before the end of the file is written, rogue could think the file was touched
when it tries to restart from that file.

Is this really how it works?  Is there a fix for the problem?
