Nothing useful in gdb? Shame! :)
It's telling you exactly where you made your mistake. You're trying to
check the player's current room etc when you've already killed them. If
they're dead, they're extracted and no longer exist, so they can't be in
any room.
Try "print *i" in gdb, which will show you the contents of the struct
pointed to i, or in your case, will say something like "address out of
bounds".
