(The Rust Monster hits!
					/usr/games/hack: 
	18721	Memory fault)

Sound familiar?

Attention Hackers,
	If you've noticed that you have been having a problem with
memory faults lately, this may be your problem. This problem occurs
if you are fighting a Rust Monster while not wearing (owning?) a
helmet. As you can see, the old source still checks the rustfree field
of the helmet object even if it does not exist!!! This is a bad move.
The correction to this typo is included in the context diff below:

  		 (int)uarm->spe >= -1) {
  			pline("Your armor rusts!");

I hope that I haven't repeated a previous correction to the source, but
we (here, at Kodak) haven't been following the hack news too closely.
Goodbye and good hacking!!!

P.S. By the way (that is, BTW), we are running hack on a SUN 2/120 under
4.2BSD.
