I just had to zero out the hard-drive partition that had nethack on it,
because the partition was getting flaky.  I couldn't use the DLII or 
REORG tools on it anymore.  I had been using nethack for several months,
and didn't notice any problems until I tried to copy it before I erased
and restored everything.  It wouldn't copy!  The file was supposably
around 380K, but only 1K would copy.  I tried everything, then decided
nethack was probably screwing my drive up, so I junked it.  Any similar
problems?
