I've found the bug with SunOS 4.0 Sun 4 segmentation fault at
quit.  In end.c, the first action in done() is

	Strcpy(buf3, killer);

If killer is NULL, we have problems.  This line was *added* from
the recent patches, and I don't quite know what an "official" fix
may be.  I simply did:

	if (killer) Strcpy(buf3,killer);

As for the bus error I had earlier, that only happens if I
compile with gcc.  The cc version seems to work ok.  So, I'll
look into learning the gnu debugger.

Happy Nethacking!
