Summary: possible fix


This particular fix has been posted a few times, but I know how it is
to miss them -- it's happened to me!

On my machine it generated a "memory fault" which can be caused by the
same thing.  The fix is in the calling procedure for 'enexto'.  In the
Nethack version, the function is defined something like

	enexto(cc, x, y)

But in the source file "shk.c" it is called twice as

	mm = enexto(mm.x, mm.y)

If you change these two calls to

	enexto(&mm, mm.x, mm.y)

you may find that the problem goes away.  If you have already applied this
fix, well, I have no idea what the problem is :-(.  And if the problem
doesn't go away, post again and I'll search a little for ya'.

Frank.
