	During installation of version 1.02 on a VAX 11-730 running
4.2 BSD, hack was compiled and owned by user "play".  When I tried
to run hack as "play", the call to setbuf in hack.main.c never
returned. However, when other users executed it (hack runs setuid and
is owned by "play"), it worked fine!

	Has anybody else experienced this problem? I removed the call
to setbuf, and now everything seems to work OK. Hopefully, this "fix"
has no great impact on the functioning of the game.
