I haven't seen the Rogue close posted to comp.sources.games, but in
the original game the limited amount of food was considered a 
feature... not a bug.  The idea is to find that ring of slow
digestion!  This is similar to the feature of the floating eyes
transfixing you, it makes the game more exciting.
