Does anybody have the secret needed to get nethack3.0 to run successfully
on an NCR Tower (XP or 32)?  It seems to run normally until I try to throw
objects, which sometimes causes "segmentation violation -- core dumped".

Also, it sometimes does it when I'm just walking around.  I've tried all
permutations of compile options such as STUPID_CPP, I can't think of a single
thing I haven't tried short of actually looking at the code via some debugger.

Yet, I've seen people post messages refering to their NCR Towers as if
they are running nethack 3.0 without any problems.  What's their secret?

Any help will be appreciated, accepted, etc, etc...
