Well, it might just be because you're using your machine's strdup()
function as opposed to the str_dup() from utils.c, I dont know.
I just added a "short" case to do_set in act.wizard.c on a virgin
copy of circle 3.0b patch level 11 to make sure it works...
case 48:
vict->player.short_descr = str_dup(val_arg);
break;
Here's the results...

You are floating in a formless void, detached from all sensation of physical
matter, surrounded by swirling glowing light, which fades into the relative
darkness around you without any trace of edges or shadow.
There is a "No Tipping" notice pinned to the darkness.

Puff says, 'I am unique!'
The Anti-Puff says, 'I am unique!'
Puff says, 'I am unique!'

It works... at least for me, maybe its machine dependent, but I'd definitely
try using str_dup() instead of strdup() before embarking on some re-writting
project of the string sharing code...
