Hiya,

     I have a problem with nethack killing players by trickery.  The player is
informed that a file alock.# (where # is some number) has been removed.  I am
not sure how the file is removed, since there are no daemons running on the 
network that delete files.

     Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem ?  I am running 
nethack with patch levels one and 2 installed.  The platform is Apollo
DN45000 machines with OS 10.1.  The game is su'd to a games account.

  	Thanx in Advance
	   maurice
