Another fatal bug in win32 graphical interface
"Too many "dead" NHW_TEXT windows around. Repeating #? 15 times will produce
the same result."

>Wizard, wearing gray dragon scale mail and wielding Magicbane. The
>Dark One teleports next to me and I get the message "The Dark One
>casts a spell at you! A field of force surrounds you!". Then I get
>3 windows popping up: "Oops." "The dungeon collapses." "ERROR: No
>windows available..." and the game exits.

> I wish I could reproduce this reliably.  Here's the method I've been using
> to do it:
>
> - Equip character (+4 gdsm, Magicbane, unicorn horn, see invisible,
> telepathy, key, "gain ability" potions to max out, enhance dagger skill
> to max, level change to 14)
> - Teleport down to the portal entrance.  Go through the portal, get
> permission to go down to see the Dark One.
> - Go down to the Dark One's level, teleport over, open up his door, and
> basically just try to head back to the entrance and kill him.
>
> Two different things have happened while doing this so far.  (I've been
> able to get errors something like 5 times out of many tries, and I haven't
> been about to do it at all in the TTY version - only the windows
> one.)  Either I get the above message I mentioned to you, which seems to
> happen at a random time, or I get a slightly different result - "Oops,
> program initialization failed, ERROR: No windows available".  This second
> result happened once _after_ I had killed the Dark One and was trying to
> #quit.
