Summary 0008750: something funky with zigg generation in pan
Description I did 75 levels of pan without coming across a zigg entrance. http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Gadrel/morgue-Gadrel-20140630-181601.txt [^]

Someone also said in tile chat that there is a recent SA post about the same thing.

My understanding is that there is a 10% chance to see a zigg in any of the randomly generated pan levels. The chance of not seeing one in the 40-50 levels which I explored after obtaining the last pan rune seem infinitesimal.

The relevant SA post is http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3630027&perpage=40&pagenumber=11#post431593508 [^] - 5 zigs in 344 levels, or roughly a 1.5% observed generation chance per level.

The expected & documented chance-per-level is 8%.

This should be fixed in trunk (0.15-a0-1826-ge0d90ec), thanks! Three quarters of the Pandemonium Ziggurat entries were causing a level-disconnection veto every time they tried to place. So you got the portal only the 1/4 of the time that it chose enter_ziggurat_pan_a (about 2% of all Pan levels).
