Subject: Bugs in my Maze
Keywords: Amazing Maze

I had a new user to ureka call me when his terminal got hung up. What I found
I could not explain so I hope perhaps Lenny, John, or some other UNIX-PC jock
can assist.

Nobody was logged in at the console, and Duane had called in on his IBM PC
clone running Procomm version ?? in the VT100 emulator mode.

He called up the User Agent (bad no no) and selected Toybox. In Toybox he calledup Hic's Amazing Maze from THE STORE. At this point, his terminal locked up
and Amazing Maze fired up on the Console with nobody logged in. However, it
only painted the first 2 screens and stayed in the 3D Maze entrance accepting
NO keyboard input.

When I first saw it, I was Amazed (no pun intended). 

My questions are:

1) How did this get started up on w1 ? It was running with a uid of 0.

2) Why did it disable both terminals ?

3) I had installed this as install. All of the permissions looked normal. It
   has never happened before to my knowledge. Has any one ever had the same
   or similar experience ? Other games ran OK.

If anyone has had the same type of thing happen, can you send me the particularson the incident ?
