The problem with tty perminv slots 'A' and 'B' boiled down to
slot_limit = SIZE(slot_tracker); /*54*/
...
/* blank out unused slots */
for (slot = 0; slot < slot_limit; ++slot) {
...
row = (slot % rows_per_side) + 1; /* +1: top border */
side = slot < rows_per_side ? 0 : 1;
ttyinv_populate_slot(row,side,...);
}
Unused slots [52] and [53] (available for show_gold mode to display
"$a..zA..Z#", not filled with inventory for normal tty perm_invent
"a..zA..Z") yielded rows 1 and 2, side 1, so clobbered slots 'A' and
'B' with blanks.
This is a subset of the changes I was working with and didn't get as
much testing as the full set.
