	I just lost a game due to a bug with Elbereth.  I was standing
on an Elbereth, and started to get hungry.  All I had was two tins,
but I couldn't open either of them.  I guess the routine that checks for
a monster next to you doesn't realize that you won't get attacked.



Spoiler ahead!!!!


	There is a nice bug that S's can use when they are on Elbereth.
Apply your pick-axe in the direction of the monster and you can kill it 
without disturbing the writing.  Unfortunately, this has been fixed here.

My apologies if either of the above have been mentioned before.
