Borg doesn't respawn

[nekrotyrael]

I'm using 3.0.9v from Takkaria's repo (git://repo.or.cz/angband/borg.git) on Linux and when the borg dies, it doesn't respawn, but instead hangs in the rip screen. I didn't find a setting in borg.txt that would cause this behavior, so guess the problem is somewhere else. Obviously, I'm missing something here, I would appreciate if someone pushed me in the right direction.
I'll gladly provide any details neccessary.

IIRC going in manually to the options and setting cheat_death on will do it.

And I've thought I set everything up properly, silly me to forget this. Thanks for the help.

I still run my borg almost every day as a "screensaver". It's so fascinating to see it run when it gets down to clvl 50 depth. I've seen the most success with priests (especially half-troll, which I didn't expect).

I think this is because of the regen. IIRC the Borg does a lot of resting to regain hp/mp, and the intrinsic regen more or less halves the likelihood of him getting ambushed while dozing.
