	This supposedly occured at Princeton to a grad student who later became
an assistant professor....

	Some grad students were annoyed with this particular grad.  He was
known for being a rogue-maniac. They were using a UNIX system.  The other guys
used a security hole in 'Mail' to obtain privileged status.  They altered rogue
a bit to check if this person was playing the game, and to make the game much
easier if it was him.   The next time the poor guy played it, he won.  But
his name didn't appear on the high score list.

	I think they also screwed up 'vi' to check if he was using it and to
reverse all the commands if he was...
