Nethack Patches and Bug Fixes for 3.4.3
The “I’m not a wimp and here’s my proof” conduct patch
This patch determines if you’ve ever caused a conflict, instantly killed a monster or ever wore an amulet as (separate) conducts. Now see if you can ascend…
NOTE: This will break save game compatibility.

Priest Sacrificing
In priest.c, it says
/*
* If the altar has been destroyed or
converted, let the
* priest run loose.
* (When it's just a conversion and there
happens to be
* a
fresh corpse nearby, the priest ought to have an
* opportunity
to try converting it back; maybe someday...)
*/
This patch implements priest sacrificing (and some other cool stuff). :)

A hobby of mine lately has been testing Nethack and reporting gobs of bugs to the devteam. Of the numerous reports I sent in, not many were fixed (who likes hearing about defects in your program anyway? :-) ) So I started this list to see if other people have noticed them and to provide a way to fix them if the official releases don’t (or to provide a fix before the next version is released).
Below are some “bugs” that I’ve discovered in Nethack with patches that implement what I think is an appropriate fix. Of course these are all open to interpretation whether they are actually bugs and whether the fix is indeed correct. So please give me feedback if there is contention.
