Thought I'd pass on this bug report, to see if anyone else has seen this
problem, and perhaps fixed it.

Subject: Hack crash

Hack crashed after I went down from a level that had a shop keeper
looking for me. It was in onbill.

The stack dump is:

inshop+?
obfree+14
useup+42
doread+FC4
rhack+23C
main+A02
TeamRoot+264

I was in the process of reading a scroll at the time.

Needless to say, I was in the middle of a great game (many rings,
thousands of gold pieces, 59 hit points, etc.)

Oh well.

----------

The crash was in the first call to onbill() in obfree() -- the one in the
initializer for "bp".  Not sure exactly where in onbill it crashed, but the
cause was dereferencing a null or garbage pointer.

That crash has occurred running on SUN 68010 systems here.  The problem is
that the billcnt field in the shopkeepers record gets trashed to very large
value (>> BILLSZ).  I was not able to figure out what part of the program was
doing the trashing.
