[vox-tech] Suddenly the Dungeon collapses

[Peter Jay Salzman]

harry,

p@satan% strings /usr/bin/screen | grep -i collapse
Suddenly the Dungeon collapses!! - You die...


in the screen sourcecode, look at attacher.c:

   #if defined(DEBUG) || !defined(DO_NOT_POLL_MASTER)
         if (AttacherPanic)
           {
        fcntl(0, F_SETFL, 0);
        SetTTY(0, &attach_Mode);
        printf("\nSuddenly the Dungeon collapses!! - You die...\n");
        eexit(1);
           }
   #endif

it's a reference to rogue (and nethack and angband and zangband and...).
