save process, after the save file had already been written by
forcing execution of an interrupt handler at one of the
termination prompts. This resulted in "You were not healthy

This clears program_state.something_worth_saving immediately

a frozen (possibly sleeping) monster cannot be grateful unless it wakes up.
From a bug report. The pit case can only happen if mfrozen is
non-zero, but other traps may leave msleeping set as well.
<Someone> reported this during 3.4.0 beta. If you are blind and levitating,
unseen monsters are shown as "I", just like when not levitating, but they
are never erased after they move, unlike not levitating. Display this
case correctly as well.
Reported to the mailing list on 5/23. To fix this, u.usteed cannot simply
be unset earlier, so I put a check for this special case into enlightenment().

Based on a report from <Someone>, avoid calling rn2(ml) when ml == 0.
Since level 0 monster always fail in their spells, just skip the whole
loop looking for a good spell.
The NOCWD_ASSUMPTIONS conditional code allows readonly
parts of NetHack to be separated from areas that require write-access.
This allows the recent panic log needed a prefix.
Make all the quest nemesis monsters resist stoning so their death messages
make sense. Some already did resist. Stoning seems like such a trivial
way to overcome a quest nemesis anyway. If it were to be allowed, multiple
death messages would be needed in the quests.
I'm surprised that no one has noticed this one yet. When
wielding two weapons, naming either of them caused two-weapon
combat mode to stop (unless the weapon already had another name
which was long enough to be overwritten by the new name without
allocating a replacement object).
From the newsgroup: creating Sting via naming didn't produce
intrinsic warning (orc detection) if it was already wielded at the
time. (Un- and re-wielding it sufficed as a workaround.)
Reported to the mailing list. If you set your monster symbol options, and
use ';' and select a known invisible monster by screen, a crash would occur
accessing a null pointer.
Reported directly to the list. If you are not the wizard and start nethack
on the command line with the -D flag (or -X), the game reports that you're
entering discover mode but does not actually do it. The flags.explore in
the save file overwrote the new value. Save the flag while reading flags
if discover mode was requested.
Add an optional paniclog file, controlled by a new PANICLOG macro that can
be used to log all panic and impossible messages. Helpful when people
forget to send, or didn't see, the message.
In item-selection menus, as you know one can press "=" to select all
rings, say. This doesn't work if the letters run out before you get to
the rings, however (because there are so many items).
Menu code did not check group accelerators on items without assigned letters
(if the letters run out). Fixed.
Moves the remaining platform-specific options
to their own section of the Guidebook and documents
the "video:autodetect" option required for tiles on MSDOS.
"Force the mount to succeed?" doesn't necessarily do so;
it's worse than useless to suppress the message which indicates
why a mount attempt is failing when a failure occurs.
when investigating the report of death due to falling off steed leaving
"you were riding" in the final attributes. (This doesn't fix that bug.)
Dismounting calls teleds() to put the character on the map and teleds()
does various iron ball manipulations, but during level change the ball
is removed from the map and those manipulations won't work as intended.
