If either rumors.tru or rumors.fal was empty when makedefs made 'rumors', init_rumors() will set true_rumor_size to -1 to indicate that rumors aren't available. It also closes the input file, and then #wizrumorcheck closed that again, triggering a crash in the dlb code. Fortune cookies and oracles work ok (just not very interesting) when rumors aren't available. Only the check command had trouble with that.
