	For all of you having trouble with games, consider this:

Using a slightly cheat-type version of rogue with a +12, +12 two handed,
-30 ac, and a packfull of goodies, I postponed a game on level 87.
When I tried to re-initiate the game, it just froze.  I could do nothing!
Upon anilizing (sp. it's late) the saved file, I noticed it was
160,000 bytes.  Rogue is only 180,00 bytes and probably could not handle
the immense saved file.  Also, after the amulet (lvl 35), each monster
gets +1 added to their experience level. So on level 87, each monster's
experience was x+87.  The game does not appreciate having to generate
such god-like monsters. AND, with the aid of a wizard's password, I
noticed that characters could not be greater than exp. lvl. 26 w/o the game
freezing.

Depending on your machine size, and your character, extremely powerful
rogues will be wiped out almost on purpose.
