>Description:
When running the game "snake" (/usr/games/snake), it coredumps immediately
on startup. I traced it down to move.c line 646, which does a strlen(BS),
where BS is NULL. If I change this to 

	if (BS != NULL)
		BSlength = strlen(BS);
	else
		BSlength = 0;

then it doesn't coredump, but it makes a mess of my screen and generally
doesn't work. This happens with both vt220 and vt100 termcaps; libraries
and /usr/share were up-to-date as of about May 3.
>How-To-Repeat:
run /usr/games/snake
>Fix:
Well, the above change keeps it from dumping core, but it still doesn't work.
This should probably not be high-priority, as it is just a game and a 
time-waster.
