What branch?

NB it's my first bug report here, so I'm expecting my syntax is off. The branch is Master.

Commenting out line 2532 of u_init.c got the game to run.

u_init.c
2529 for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) /* adjust its level and difficulty upwards */
2530 {
2531 horrors[j]->mlevel = mstrength(horrors[j]);
2532 monstr[monsndx(horrors[j])] = mstrength(horrors[j]);
2533 }
2534
2535 if (horrors[j]->mlevel<11) // redo if we get too weak a monster
2536 j--;

Honestly there's likely no easy fix for this. Give up on dnethack and try for dNAO, if you want to compile it yourself. I'm not even sure if this repo is up to date for the old versions.

Ha! That would explain it. Thanks!
