Hey all Im just writing to see if anyone else has this problem with
nh3.4.3:

Nethack is installed on my file server and I ssh in from my workstation
to play. When i am done playing (dywypi?) the game closes out after
displaying scores fine. Now if i type "top" in my console I can see that
nethack-console is still active and running my cpu at 100%, this of
course drives me nuts as i have to kill process all the time.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? It is no repeatable all the time,
just sometime it keeps running, I usually only notice when my room gets
hot as the runaway process bumps up the cpu speed (powernow) and
generates enormous heat. Sometimes i have done "top" and seen as many as
3 seperate nethack-consoles running from my user!

My fileserver is x86_64 sarge (debian stable).

help!
James

I'm afraid I can't help you there, but FWIW I have the same behaviour with
SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F1. It seems that nethack doesn't check if STDIN goes away
at that point.

Greetings,
Benjamin
