Today I was playing rogue (version 5.2), when all of a
sudden it exited me, giving my prompt, without saying
anything.  I said rogue -r, and it restarted the game,
but it didn't draw the rooms right and the bottom line
was somewhere in the middle of the screen.  At the top
of the screen there was a message
"In some bizarre place (4,44)".
When I tried to move around, it made weird lines and
dashes and @'s all over the place.  Sometimes it would
say random ordered pairs followed by --More--.  I read
some scrolls and that worked ok, except that it typed
the messages on different parts of the screen instead
of the top.  I couldn't get it to do anything
reasonable.  I saved the game again.  Is there anything
I can do, or should I just throw it out? It wasn't a
particularly exciting game, but I'm curious to find out
what happened.
