I haven't seen anything strange with the save-game function, because I don't
use it, but I have seen strange things.  For example, if two people here are
playing on the same account (with the same login name, of course), they will
often get the same levels.  If one player is on level two when the second 
player goes down to level two, then when he gets there, the level will be the
same as the first player's level.  If one of the players becomes two levels
ahead of the other, then when the other player goes down a level, it will be
the same level, but it will also be as mapped out as it was when the first
player left it, and all the stuff that was there when the first player was,
will be gone.  Also, the monsters will be there, but they won't move when
attacked!

Verrrrry Strange! Interesting, anyway.
