I noticed this one with VENIX 2.3 on the AT, which has the AT&T compiler
as Microport does.

Wiz mode and a potion of object detection revealed that all the objects
were up on the first line of the screen.  Not too accessable there!!!
There's some trouble with the somex() and somey() macros in mklev.c
and this compiler, I believe.  Haven't had time to track it down,
since Nethack 2.2 is working fine for me on the VAX.
