By how much is the hit point max increased when a new level
of experience is achieved?

Each new level is worth between 1 and 10 hit points, with all
possibilities apparently equally probable (average = 5.5).
I have attempted (without success) to find some connection between
hit point increases and things like strength, inventory, current
hit points, time of day, humidity, and the ratio of republicans
to democrats in congress.  It seems to be totally a matter of luck.

Question: In versions of rogue older than 5.2, the transition to
experience level N always seemed to occur at (2^(N-2))*10 experience
points.  In version 5.3, new levels of experience seem to require
somewhat more experience points than this, especially at higher
levels (the old rule seems to hold at the lower levels).  Has anyone
figured out the new rule yet?
