In the meantime here is recoded binary with Aapo's sticky shift patch applied (upstream did not include it ): Replace brogue in /opt/brogue/ and should work.
EDIT: even though it doesn't segfault now, it still needs some work: new feature of object descriptions prevents item usage (equipping/applying...), will try to fix it
EDIT2: reverting Aapo's patch allows for inventory use, that is until you hit shift as it will get sticky (shiftless attached)
