Comment (by eriktorbjorn):

 The second case is worse since it's just prints one message, presumably
 telling you that you've died:

 {{{
 IF
         ROOM == 31
         && SAID(11/N       , 60/        )
 THEN
         PRINT(29/<corrupted string>)
         RESTART_GAME()
 END
 }}}

 Which could be anything. It was probably supposed to tell you that you
 fell down the stairs, or something like that. But we know from Europe 50
 BC that it could have been something more elaborate, like "THE CRAZY
 PEOPLE OF THE LABYRINTH SNEAK UP ON YOU AS YOU WANDER AIMLESSLY IN THE
 DARK, AND HACK YOU INTO SEVERAL TINY PIECES."

 If we want to substitute our own message, one of my favorites comes from
 the very first text adventure I ever played: "Du dog nyss under mystiska
 omständigheter!" (translated: "You just died under mysterious
 circumstances!") :-)
