   Occasionally the mud crashes and when i do a backtrace i get this, and it
   doesn't just happen in create_money() occasionally in other functions it
   will bomb out, and it doesn't always happen everytime in create_money().

Sounds like you are writing past the end of an array, or using an uninitialized
pointer.  (Possibly somewhere other than create_money().)  This is causing 
random parts of memory to be written to, the effects of which may show up at
any later time.  This is a hard bug to find...  good luck.
