     In response or developement of my original letter.  It seems I
  have run into a sadistic version of rogue; Advanced rogue 4.5.
  Here is the scene.  A ring of illumination and sustain health, 
  23 strength, 22 const., 18 dexterity, 130 hp. and an armor class 
  of -10.  I also had some other neat stuff.  Okay, level 24, just
  killed a Bone Devil (B) and I run into another B.  I run past it
  because it was sleeping but it awakened.  Next thing I read is that
  a basillisk has turned me to stone!  Is this a major bug or a cruel
  way to cut off one's ego.
