I've had a fair bit of trouble with saved games -- often (especially with
games at the lower levels) I would get a memory fault and core dump upon
restoring a saved game.  I remember reading a fortune cookie saying that
"It's not safe to save"; is this a known bug?  Or is it just me?

I don't know about the rest of you other sites in NetLand, but I have never
seen nor heard any on our machine complain of a core dump from Hack (as the
local maintainer, I would probably be notified of one (I've been notified of
other bugs)).  Hack currently is the most popular game on our system so
there have been plenty of chances for one to show up.  Also, save's work
fine.  You may want to check to make sure everything in config.h is set up
correctly.

We HAVE been a few problems with lock files not going away, however...
