I was just playing a very good game of hack, when I happened to run
across a wand of wishing.  Since I was on my way out of the dungeon,
I figured that I would wish for potions of gain level; that's 9
potions!  After eating many wrathes and quaffing about 7 other
potions of raise level, I think that I was level 23.  After drinking
all of the potions, I was level 0.  Yes, zero.  Needless to say, I 
could barely hit anything, and my 199 hit points were rapidly being
depleated.

I figure that my level must have wrapped around at thirty.  I don't
know if this is a bug or a feature (don't want us to get too big
for our britches do you).

One other potential bug associated with this is that my fingers
kept glowing white, a look at the source showed that this is
probably associated with the fact that my level was 0.
