I found a bug of literacy in 0.92.3.
The skill of literacy becomes able to write a note to non-magical
scrolls.  But this note does not end with newline('\n'), so
'endmsg' does not start from beginning of a line.

This cause server crash when a map - that contains some literated
scrolls and timed out - is reloaded.

Same problem is found in readable objects.  So you can crash a
server with high probability when you enter a time-outed magic
shop.
