There had been a HP cheat by exploiting a polyself bug in a former
version. On NAO I currently see a character with HP:5315(5320) and Pw:2913(2913) at Xp:30 (T:~200k). - Is that still that bug or just
normal to achieve in version NH-366? That number looks quite large considering that pudding farming had been nerfed.

That bug was fixed at least two different ways for 3.6.0 but
perhaps those fixes weren't sufficient.
Why not review the ttyrec(s) to see how it was done?
You'll probably know by 100000 turns. :-}

Fixes that don't fix it? - Nice definition of fixed. Avoids hard work.
As [political] principle this is well known also from other areas. :-)

Sometimes a bug is more complex and more obscure than it seems at first.
It may get partly fixed, so that it doesn't present itself in every use
case it did before, but only in some rare cases.
So the developers assume they fixed it, when it actually is only partly fixed.
Sometimes fixing one bug even enables another bug that was already
there, but hidden by the first bug.
This is SO familiar at work..
