Circle receives a PIPE signal because the is no reader (no identd running on the machine you are connecting from). Circle is set to ignore this signal, but gdb is set to break when it is received. When you start gdb, give it the command "handle SIGPIPE nostop", and it won't break. You can also just type "cont" to continue after receiving the SIGPIPE. >Also i still haven't figured out how i can determine whether a character >is logged on or not and if they are what their current CON_XXXX is.

Everyone connected to your game will show up with the users command, whatever state they are in. You will rarely see anyone in one of the CON_IDxxx states though, since it is usually quick. Has anyone tried the ident patch on a windows machine? I'm curious if it works. Eric
