Lately I haven't been able to get mail to mcvax.  This letter concerns
hack 1.0.  On our SUN, wands of wishing cause core dumps when items are
misspelled.  I found the problem to be related to NROFOBJECTS being defined
improperly.  My quick patch was to change the following line (we are still
running hack 1.0).

436c436
< 	while(i <= NROFOBJECTS && (!let || objects[i].oc_olet == let)){
---
> 	while(objects[i].oc_name && (!let || objects[i].oc_olet == let)){
