Yes, I traced it down to be a stack error, and it disapeared when
I changed the size of the newstring[40] in routine makeworld in module
makeworl.c to  newstring[80].

Or in patch format:

*** makeworl.c.ori
--- makeworl.c
**************
*** 45,51
  int	rflag;		/* TRUE if you wish to read in a map from mapfiles */
  {
  	char passwd[PASSLTH+1],*getpass();
! 	char newstring[40];
  	FILE *fopen();
  
  	/*abort if datafile currently exists*/
--- 45,51 -----
  int	rflag;		/* TRUE if you wish to read in a map from mapfiles */
  {
  	char passwd[PASSLTH+1],*getpass();
! 	char newstring[80];
  	FILE *fopen();
  
  	/*abort if datafile currently exists*/
