Description of problem: I was playing rogue (I'm on vacation!) and on level 11 I found a Nymph. The proper way to fight a Nymph is to drop everything you are carrying and fight her barehanded and naked. Otherwise when she hits she'll steal an item. I defeated the Nymph, and she dropped a Leather Armor. I picked it up and it showed up in my inventory as b) leather armor, and of course it was the only thing I was carrying, having dropped everything else. So I don't know why it was b). Then I tried to drop it, but it claimed there was something already there, or something (I don't remember exactly). Then I did an inventory and saw b) leather armor b) leather armor b) leather armor ... --press space to continue-- and no matter how many spaces I pressed, it just kept saying b) leather armor. I couldn't do anything and had to ^C to get out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rogue.i686 5.4.5-12.fc19 I used to play rogue all the time in the 80's and this version works pretty well. I think there might be an issue with the high-score list too but that's not a big deal. This issue is "high" 'cause when it happens it kills your game. I was having an excellent game otherwise, and got slightly annoyed by this. :-)
Oh, I had saved the game earlier, so I was playing from a restored game, if that makes a difference. It seems to me it's just some bug related to having nothing in your pack. I've dropped everything and picked everything up before and that seems to work fine, but this item (leather armor) was dropped by a Nymph after I defeated it so maybe that has something to do with it. I dunno. I'm on vacation so maybe I'll look at the code. I'm also having problems with my Samba server and I want to look at that code, but like I said, I'm on vacation. After two weeks of being furloughed by the government, they start up and I get two days to fix everything in the lab and then I'm out (hey, my vacation was planned for months!) You don't care about any of this, I know. You fix this and I'll fix the Samba bug, deal?
I understand your frustration but it will probably take a while until I find some time to reproduce it :) I'm open to patches, of course. I know the saving/restoring is a bit broken; I'd look there. Also, in case you have saved before the nymph, could you attach the save file?
Sorry, when you start with -r it reads and then deletes the save file, and I hadn't made a copy. If I had had it and it worked I probably wouldn't have reported this. :-)
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I still haven't really looked at this yet :|
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Created attachment 1136700 [details] Possibly unrelated, but here is a rouge.save file that causes rogue to segfault instantly. I was trying to reproduce the earlier bug, which may have something to do with save files. You'll need to adjust the screen to 90x24 chars, it complains if you don't. In any case, this is also a bug---it should not segfault.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
