Hello fellow NetHackers!

OK, first of all I've noticed a few people talking about an error in shops
about getting paid for unpaid items.  I think this was supposed to be fixed
in the stop-gap patch released soon after the level 4 patches.  I haven't
played it yet with the SG fix, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

Second, I've noticed an error that I think would have been found MUCH earlier.
I have a awesome character one level above Hell with one flaw:  he doesn't have
fire resistance yet.  So while nuking everything in existence on that level I
accidentally run into a trapdoor.  OOPS!

You arrive at the center of the earth...--More--
Unfortunately, it is here that hell is located.  You burn to a crisp.--More--
You die...--More--
The flames of Hell burn you to a crisp.--More--

After about a few hundred of the last message, the program finally seg faults.

I can't get out of this loop with ^C or anything else sane.  It appears that
in end.c the game is ignoring signals!  Any help would be appreciated!
FYI:  This is on a VAX 750 running 4.3 BSD Unix.
