process com.nethackff stopped unexpectedly on startup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. process com.nethackff stopped unexpectedly on startup every time
2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Game should start, I see Please wait, initializing... at the top of the 
screen, a white cursor below that line, and then the Android pop up tells 
me of the force close.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current version available on the market as of 03/22/2010.  Running on a G1 
with Firmware 1.6 CynogenMod 4.2.15.1 (current version).

Please provide any additional information below.
Doubt this matters, as this is not a 3d game by any means, but I done the 
10mb memory hack that borrows 10mb of memory from the GPU to be used for 
general phone process.

I get the same issue on my Motorola Droid running CyanogenMod 5.0.5.7, and from 
the app 
comments it looks like a lot of Nexus One users are having the same problem.

Pretty sure that in this case, this is an issue with the application under 
CyanogenMod. A stock Nexus One should definitely work, and is what I use 
myself. I hope to address it in the future, but haven't had time to set up CM 
myself and dig into it. I think there may be at least two issues: 1. some 
commands that the application expect in /system/bin are not there under CM, and 
2. if you run apps from the SD card, I'm not sure that the assumptions about 
the path to the app data will hold up.

I'm attaching a logcat of what happens when I launch it. Not sure if it'll help 
or not.

Thanks for the log.

Those of you who had this problem before, can you please help out by 
downloading this new version:
http://nethack-android.googlecode.com/files/NetHack-1.2.2-alpha.apk
I'm hoping that it will fix crashes on startup, by not relying on external 
commands (chmod, mkdir) and by more properly obtaining the path to the 
application's files. Please report back here with the results. Even if you 
didn't have this crash before, I would be interested in knowing that the new 
version works, so I don't introduce any new problem.

Closing this, sounds like it's fixed! Unfortunately the problems on Samsungs 
(issue #24) appear to still be present, had hoped it was the same thing.
