Blindness-related pit bug?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

I think I've found a bug in 3.4.3. I don't have the messages on hand,
but this is a paraphrase of what happened:

The raven blinds you.
You narrowly escape a pit.
There are several objects here
You feel here a goblin corpse (etc, etc)
(Try to pick something up)
You cannot reach the items in the pit.

I didn't see this specifically mentioned on the bugs page at
nethack.org (searching on "pit"), though there were several other
pit-related bugs.

Should I try to file it, or is it a known issue that's already been
addressed?

I did not experiment with it, since the conditions are a little hard
to set up without wizard mode. (OS X console build, seems to want me to
be "wizard" to run in -D mode, and I don't feel like creating a system
user to test this.)

Thanks,

Nick

p.s. Been playing since '88 or so, this is the first bug I've found
that wasn't widely known... Amazing.

This might be a case of C343-10.

It might be related, but the patch at:

http://www.csh.rit.edu/~topher/nethack/343/bugfixes/nh343-fix-010.diff

only addresses eating trapped food, not detecting objects by
"touch". If things continue to be slow around here, maybe I'll look
into writing a patch myself.

bug reports don't necessarily (often don't at all) describe the exact
error, just circumstances when it does occur, so some prudence is often
required.

I run the Mac OS X tiles game, not the console game, so I
don't know if this applies to you: My "wizard" account is
a normal user account, not an administrative account, and
is able to run wizard mode fine.

Yeah, I don't feel like creating a new account just to run wizard
mode. If I do get around to tackling this bug, I will have to
recompile anyway, so I'll just change the wizard user to my username.

This is a fine solution if you're the only one on the machine who is
likely to want to access wizard mode. If there are other users, it makes
more sense to create a wizard account that has no other purpose, so no
one has to access anyone else's account (or root) in order to use wizmode.
