Unless you know C decently, I honestly think you are going to have a hell of a time tracking it down. > I'm sure there are a few other people out there that can > learn from our mistakes and there may even be one or two who have these > problems without patching in code.

Possible memory leaks: read_object() without extracting it read_mobile() without extracting it CREATEing stuff that's never used CREATEing stuff which doesnt need to be CREATEd AN olc bug that doesnt free up those dumb arrays they use to allocate world space In all honesty... you have quite an undertaking ahead of you trying to find a memory leak when you dont know where to start looking. And only you can tell yourself that. Damn leak could be anywhere in your entire code.
