Not really, but to be sure, I had tested Mike's build. I just had
someone else check it using Mike's version, and it did indeed crash.
Suspicious, I tried DOSBOX, but that didn't work either.

Tracking the problem, I found that it hangs on any GOSUB call in
battle() - it never actually gets to the GOSUB code. I suspected a
stack overflow (due to new features, an extra variable here and
there?), increased the size of the stack a few hunderd bytes (far too
much, I suppose? I didn't experiment), and now everything works -
until you try to quit game.exe, then it appears to quit normally but
leads to a black screen with a blinking cursor. A result of increasing
the stack?
