Depends upon what you call a problem. You see, the problem isn't that
saving throws don't work, it's that you don't understand what 'stat'
is showing you. It's showing you modifications to the saving throw
for that player, not the saving throw itself.
Since most people don't have modified saving throws--especially at
level 1--it'll show you zero. If you want proof, look at the function
in magic.c that checks the saving throw. It adds GET_SAVE() onto the
saving throw from the table.
