I just downloaded patch leve 8 a couple of weeks ago and ever since then, I have been getting "SYSERR: CHECKPOINT shutdown: tics not updated". While I have made changes to the patch level (nothing major), I haven't added anything which was not already in my patch level 7 code. I traced the message to comm.c - specifically the checkpointing() function. Is my_signal(SIGVTALRM, checkpointing) somehow failing? What does this function do, specifically anyway? I'm quite confused.... Oh, would a corrupt player file cause this? We had a major system crash here about the same time I changed to patch level 8 and one of my players has had strange things happening to his password ever since.... Dave
