I remember the short story mentioned in a response to this, but I DON'T think
it was in OMNI--I don't read it.  I also remember the novel, but not the title.
However, I have a feeling the author was Spider Robinson or Chip Delany or
someone equally unlikely.

I also noticed the similarity of the "tasp" to this story's basis--implied
chronology intended:  I read Ringworld and RWEngineers afterwards.
