If you're the only user of your computer, you could also just unmask |
| 21 |
the version in Portage. The bug is that any user in the games group |
| 22 |
can edit all save files, so if you want to hack your own saves, go |
| 23 |
ahead :). Or if you trust all games users. |

Doesn't look like there's any newer version of NetHack out, either. |
