Rogue Bug? (again?)

I have been reading all of the commentary about an alleged bug in
rogue whereby a player can get lots of experience on level 1 (At
least, that's how \I/ understand it).  I read this with interest
the first time I saw it, but that interest is quickly changing to
boredom and disgust, due to the incessant flaming (however justified)
from both sides of the issue.  I decided to try to find this "bug".

I can now report that I have found a sure-fire way to go up in levels
as much you want on level 1 (at least on our version).  The secret is

               [ Drum roll, please... ]

                   Patience!

by simply staying on level 1 and killing off wandering monsters as they
appear, I have gained \lots/ of experience.

I don't know if this is the "bug" that is causing all the flame, but if,
Mr. Hamachi, it is, then I don't see how it's worth all of the fuss.
