From JIGS-UP:

     <COND (<G? <SETG DEATHS <+ ,DEATHS 1>> 3>
        <TELL
"You feel yourself disembodied in a deep blackness. A voice from the void
speaks:  \"I have waited a long age for you, my friend, but perhaps it has been
another that I have been seeking. Good night, oh worthy adventurer!\" It is
the last you hear." CR>
        <QUIT>)

This is unlike Zork I and Zork II, where it calls FINISH instead so that you are prompted to restart, restore or quit.

By the way, Zork III isn't the only game that does this. I probably won't be reporting any other cases as bugs, though. (Even if that's maybe something we should fix?) I only did so this time because it's inconsistent with the two other games in the trilogy.
