Есть такое "событие" в Nethack — Архоншторм. Это когда происходящее напоминает то, что сейчас изображено на экране, и, что хуже всего, обычно случается на элементальных планах. Будучи новичком в Nethack я столкнулся с ним воочую, и придумал три способа, как преодолеть. Избежать Архоншторма
NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game. Starting with version 3.6.2 and prior to version 3.6.7, illegal input to the "C" (call) command can cause a buffer overflow and crash the NetHack process. This vulnerability may be a security issue for systems that have NetHack installed suid/sgid and for shared systems. For all systems, it may result in a process crash. This issue is resolved in NetHack 3.6.7. There are no known workarounds.
In NatHack between 3.6.0 and 3.6.3, a buffer overflow issue exists when reading very long lines from a NetHack configuration file (usually named .nethackrc). This vulnerability affects systems that have NetHack installed suid/sgid and shared systems that allow users to upload their own configuration files. All users are urged to upgrade to NetHack 3.6.4 as soon as possible.
In NetHack before 3.6.5, unknown options starting with -de and -i can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a crash or remote code execution/privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects systems that have NetHack installed suid/sgid and shared systems that allow users to influence command line options. Users should upgrade to NetHack 3.6.5.
