I think Bombs does this because it notices that sound isn't working,
and our code to display system error messages has some problems.  In
the case of Bombs, with "pretend sound" it get farther but it will
hang, because pretend sound doesn't pretend well enough.  I worked on
this a while ago, but it turned out that fixing Bombs broke other
programs.  Sigh.  We need real sound support.  :-)

Turning on "pretend sound" before running something is always a good
thing to try when apps seem to get unhappy early on.  Use alt-shift-5
to bring up the options panel that lets you set this.
