>Description:
Zero is the character code returned by curses when the user types Ctrl-@ (or Ctrl-Space).  It is also ZC_TIME_OUT.  If the user accidentally hits Ctrl-@, a bogus ZC_TIME_OUT is returned from  unix_read_char() in ux_input.c.  This causes Frotz to crash with the message ">Fatal error: Call to non-routine".
>How-To-Repeat:
Start a zcode game with either 2.40 or 2.41.  Get a command line, then type ^@ or ^space.  Watch the interpreter crash.  Utter great obscenities because you forgot to save the game before the cat danced on the keyboard.
>Fix:
Upgrade to Frotz 2.42.
