Re: coding problem with a character creation addition (mem leak?)

A bool is defined as a byte, its a small change, that will not cause the
memory leak.  While I agree I usually use bool for true or false 1 or 0.
I overlooked it, and its trivial to change.  But, how could that cause a
memory leak, which is my concern, or how could it cause my mud to crash
periodically ?
