Cannot join game on CAO
So I am experiencing a strange behavior on CAO, and was advised (by gammafunk on ##crawl-dev) to post here to record the problem.
My account name is "mti" and I only play the console version via ssh.
The current situation is that if I try to join my 0.18 game in progress right now, I get the message "Another game is already in progress using this save!", and it has been so for several hours.
Apparently, the backed up save file seems to load up correctly if you have access to it: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/saves/mti-crawl-0.18-161010-0142.tar.bz2
How that came about seems related to a bug in 0.18, but I'm not sure I have sufficient info about it for a usable bug report. What happened was something like this. I was playing that
game yesterday, and at some point I brought up the ^O panel and noticed a shop in there I hadn't seen before (type was "*" if I remember correctly). When trying to go there, the game
blew up on me (saying something like "failed to save"). After that, when I tried to resume the game, my ssh connection would simply die right away (it did so multiple time). This stopped
after a while and I am now getting the "other game in progress" message instead.
