Go look in your mob directory. One of your mob files is empty due to an
OLC crash i would bet. When oasis writes a file to disk, the old one is
overwritten temporarily, id imagine due to an fopen(file,"w") call.
If the mud crashes before the file is re-written, you end up with an
empty file. Ive not had this problem in quite some time, but it does happen.
Find the trashed mob file and restore from backups
