Probably you were playing as WIZARD (i.e., hack -w). That is a
debugging mode (I should have taken it out before posting the
sources) and peculiar things might happen when you use it.
(For instance, in this particular case, what happens is that the
players strength is a signed character and lies in the range -1 .. 118.
However, if you die as a WIZARD your strength is incremented; if this
happens often enough it will go from 127 to -128.)
I do not regard this as a bug - it is like your weapon exploding when
you enchant it too much - but I will do something about it in the
next release.
