After further testing, that doesn't seem to be the cause after all. Curious. I went all the way up to a 32MB swap area, and that still didn't make any difference.

I'm noticing the same thing with my ASCII port. My guess is that it's a memory allocation problem -- either not enough memory present or not a large enough contiguous memory block (too much fragmentation). One thing that I'm going to try tonight is making a ~10MB (for starters) temporary file...

On a semi-related note: I'm going to be releasing a port of the original ASCII version of nethack 3.4.3 for the GP2X sometime soon. I ported it from scratch, using a customized version of sterm to handle user input. Feel free to test it. URL...
