    What are the permissions on the files and on the executable itself?  Who
owns it?

    When I set up angband on Slack I chown'd it to games:users and had it
SUID.  All the data files were also chowned to games:users.  Didn't have any
problems with it running that way.  However, if it weren't set that way it
wouldn't reload characters properly.  

    I'm not sure how the Debian install sets it up, still using the copy I
installed under Slack.
