Bug#3271: new nethack screws up on linux console
Package: nethack
Version: 3.1.3-3
Package: ncurses3.0
Version: 1.9.9e-1
If I recall the annoucement, nethack was rebuilt in a different form
(TERMINFO defined, or something like that?) so that the colors were
right. Well, this had other side-effects -- for example, it
occasionally dumps garbage on the screen. For example, note that
5050505050 in the following, and the )5@ (which should be @f#, a ^r
refreshes the screen to show me, the cat, and open tunnel...)
This is running on a 1.2.13 kernel, but the terminal emulation code
(1) has not changed much in a long time (2) worked fine under nethack
3.1.3-2. If you have trouble reproducing it let me know (this showed
up in the first couple of minutes of play. Good thing the other users
here haven't noticed -- they'd be miffed :-)
You hear a door open. You are almost hit by a crude dagger!
