I've been playing rogue for a little over a year now (three
different versions) and I had the same thing happen to me about
four months ago while playing 5.3:  I searched the top six rooms
but could not find either the % or any entrance ways to other rooms.
I searched every damn inch of all the rooms (going through my last
three foods and all my scrolls in the process) and finally died of
starvation.  The only monsters in the six known rooms seemed to
be the ones created there (ie, no more showed up after the initial
set were killed).  The % may well have been there somewhere, but I
sure couldn't find it.
