Ohh, I maybe forgot to mention it, these additions have been made to
0.88.0. It's true that it doesn't core-dump of the same reasons that
0.87 did but it still does (did) wen't into infinit loops and the
auto-save at a SIGSEG_V can fail. But that wasn't the problem here;
what Vick ment (at least I think so) was that a character could quit,
thereby leaving a pile, copy the save-file and have multiple stuff or
in a nicer view, die and leaving a ghost-pile etc. By this you can
conclude that I don't run it SUID and will continue doing so until
version 1.0 is released. After all this is pre-releases...
