Actually it does not really "freeze", you just always die after moving
around for 10 to 20 rooms (for example, I do not manage to go down the
stairs and to go up completely again without dying).

Anyway, I think I've got a clue what might be wrong with the game: It
initially sets a new date/time stamp with the IKBD clock-set command -
which we do not support in Hatari yet. So when it later reads back the
time from the IKBD, it gets a time stamp that is far away from the time
expected by the program - so it thinks too much time has passed and you
die.

I am just trying to implement a fix for this ... but that might require
a new variable in the IKBD code that has to be saved in the memory
snapshots, too. So this will break the compatibility of the snapshots
with version 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 ... Nicolas, would that be ok for 1.6.2 or
do you prefer to keep 1.6.2 compatible with the two previous versions?
