>Organization:
Not much
>Environment:
System: NetBSD 
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	/rescue/tetris tries to use /var/games/tetris.scores.  If the system
        is in a bad state, possibly with corrupted file systems, it
        would be a bad idea to write anywhere without a deliberate
        decision by the sysadmin.  Simply running a game does not count
        as as deliberate decision to write to the file system.
>How-To-Repeat:
	/rescue/tetris
	press 'q' to quit.
	see this message:
	tetris: Cannot open /var/games/tetris.scores for read/write:
		Permission denied
>Fix:
	Disable the high scores feature in the rescue version of tetris.
