These are both legit bugs. There is one place where "[bug]" appears
and it's not a bug, but I think it's fairly obvious where this is. If
you (being a collective you, not you-Avrom) see a [bug] message
elsewhere or a TADS error, please let me know so I can squish the
thing :) Thanks.

(Incidentally, I'm reading this thread and going "heh heh heh". I
don't have any comments on it, except to say that I used to have 
"*** You have won ***" messages at the various endings until a
beta-tester convinced me to take them out. In retrospect, I think this
was probably a good move.)
