As hpscdi!jon remarked, two lines of code have been inadvertently
dropped from hack.dog.c, making it more difficult to train your dog.

Fix in hack.dog.c

He also remarked a typo in hack.tty.c. Another player with '@' as kill
character complained about not being able to genocide all @'s. Yes, what
a pity!

Fix in hack.tty.c:

< 		} else if(c == kill_char || c == '\177') { /* Robert Viduya */
< 			while(bufp != obufp) {
< 				bufp--;
< 				putstr("\b \b");
< 			}
< 		} else if(isprint(c)) {
---
> 		} else if(' ' <= c && c < '\177') {
> 				/* avoid isprint() - some people don't have it
> 				   ' ' is not always a printing char */

< 		multi += 10*multi+foo-'0';
---
> 		multi = 10*multi+foo-'0';

Finally, there was a typo in the routine lookaround() in hack.c that
would cause you to walk into known traps with commands like "fh" or '^H'.
Also, people want to continue eating/digging/counting_their_money even
when a sleeping Leprechaun is nearby. Well, now they can.

Fix in hack.c:
519c515		(in lookaround())
< 			if(x == u.ux+u.dx && y == u.uy+u.dx) goto stop;
---
> 			if(x == u.ux+u.dx && y == u.uy+u.dy) goto stop;
