[rfk-dev] doesn't work straight out of git

I haven't yet tried to build this new git-hosted rfk yet, so I tried and 
got this:

marvin:/tmp/git/src$ ./robotfindskitten
There are only 2 NKIs available (user requested 20).

Strace(1) tells me that its looking in /usr/share/games/robotfindskitten 
and ~/.robotfindskitten

Okay, I'll put vanilla.nki into ~/.robotfindskitten

Now strace(1) tells me this:

stat64("/home/dave/.robotfindskitten!\200/.", 0xbf9332ac) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
stat64("/home/dave/.robotfindskitten!\200/vanilla.nki", 0xbf9332ac) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/home/dave/.robotfindskitten!\200/..", 0xbf9332ac) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)

What's that !\200 doing in there?

So, scratch that, try /usr/games/share/robotfindskitten instead:

$ ./robotfindskitten
*** glibc detected *** ./robotfindskitten: free(): invalid next size 
(fast): 0x092908a8 ***
======= Backtrace: =========

How are you guys getting this compiled?
