CRASH. Playing around with it a few times and saving every step, here is how I can consistently replicate this crash in OSX. Aris.zip

Have @ use the rod of disarming to disable the traps to the south. (Inscribed with @z6, so, z6 down arrow.) Then save the file, ^s. The program crashes during the save, and saves a corrupt savefile while leaving the original savefile intact. It will also crash if you don't do the save, just take a couple steps south after disarming the traps, but then you also don't get the additional corrupt savefile as a bonus.

As for the redraw-failure to update info problem. It continues to happen, but as you noticed, it stops and starts. I've seen it affect AC, Speed, and Stats displays.

Crash bug. Open door to the south and it crashes.

MattB's jelly crash

Man, if I ever form a band...

Yeah, sorry guys, looks like I've broken traps - I had a nasty crash last night too which seemed to be trap-related, and door locks are traps now too. I'll be reverting all the silly things I did to try and stop traps appearing on stairs, and doing something much simpler.

[Nick]

Update f59f9e5 fixes the trap crashes, I believe. I haven't tested it on the two savefiles you guys put in, because the fix stops the problems in those from occurring, so they will probably still crash.

Nice! Traps and doors ok again. But in the attached file the AC update problem is visible again. Switch between armours and AC update lags. Redraw and it is correct. I even got it to lag one step consistently so that I got the AC for the n-1 setup.

...and I can't repeat it - Windows, Linux or OSX. The only thing I can think of now is that this is dependent on the history of the play session, or on some local setting (not an option, because they're all in the savefile).

I ran on Windows 7. And just now I tried it on a fresh install from rephial on an old Windows Server. With graphics (default) it works as it should but as soon as I turn off the graphics the AC is not updated correctly. Instead AC is updated one step behind all the time. So when it should be 154 it says 202 and vice versa.

Another observation, the home inventory in the character dump is normally sorted nicely as e.g. the current leader in the comp. But look at my dump with today's release, http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=17794. It seems random. The same for PowerWyrm's latest dump, http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=17774

(rev. 300) Character dump also fails to list entire quiver. It only lists until the first blank slot. My latest dump says 40 + 10 arrows and my slots are equipped as:
a) 40 ...
b) 10 ...
) (nothing)
d) 12 ...
e) 24
) (nothing)
g) 34 ...

No idea if it has been reported before, but a Great Hell Wyrm just dropped a magic book "Magic for Beginners", which is clearly not a drop that should be allowed...

Not a bug. Non-unique ancient dragons have only "ONLY_ITEM" in 3.5 too. Not even "DROP_GOOD".

That's just unusual because it is so shallow level item.

When using an enchant armor scroll on a cursed item I got the message "your item glows brightly!" Then "the curse is broken!" This would lead me to believe that the item had been enchanted as well as the curse broken but looking at the item I'm pretty sure the enchantment did not change. I'm not sure if this is new or normal but it seemed odd.

My current competition character was lucky enough to find a multi-hued DSM! The description says it breathes for 250 damage but I just breathed acid on a mean looking mercenary and he only lost two stars! It seemed a little underwhelming in the dungeon but now a can't even use it to kill townies?

Another display issue. @ found The One Ring and has just successfully killed Morgoth. Experience is at full, but the Character Level is shown in Yellow rather than Green. Ruin.zip
