Look for mobiles that are missing a description or keyword. Empty lists (names that are blank) tend to cause problems. > Second of all, is there a way I can look at a core dump > and get some idea as to what is causing it? A core dump > alone really tells me nothing. My suggestion is to get a copy of dbx. Once you have dbx, you can type dbx bin/circle lib/core, and at the dbx prompt type "where." This will tell you where the mud crashed. (Often down to the exact line number) I think gdb also works similarly. Check hacker.doc for more details. -Jeff
