In some games, restore() passes the result of ctime() to mvprintw() or
some other variadic message-formatting function. If ctime() has not
been declared properly, its return type is inferred to be int instead
of char *. This does not cause a warning because the compiler does not
know the correct type of variadic arguments.
On platforms where ints and pointers are not the same size, this can,
probably depending on alignment, result in a segfault that is not easy
to trace.
Including time.h fixes the problem. Some games manually declared
ctime() and avoided the bug. These declarations have also been
replaced with the include.
The new function md_random_seed() has replaced time() + getpid() and
similar methods. Putting everything in mdport.c slightly reduces the
warnings and workarounds.
Some sections of code that prompt the user for a string of input were
calling get_str() with cw (the player-visible screen containing the
map), which caused whatever the player typed to get printed starting at
cw's idea of the cursor position, which was usually the Rogue's @-sign.
This corrupted the map.
The problem has been fixed by passing msgw (the message line at the top
of the screen) to get_str(), so the player's typing appears where msgw
thinks the cursor should be, which is in the sensible place right after
the prompt. Some other get_str() invocations which used hw or stdscr
have been left unmodified.
