Uhm, I've got a pretty much 'working' version of AutoAuction, that I
hacked together myself. Only thing that'll crash it is, that it doesn't
check for objects that might time out during the auction.
However, it doesn't use an 'auctioneer', but runs 'entirely' on the
auction channel, that's been restructured, to just an auction 'item', bid
<value> thing, that displays what's going on. It stacks objects in a que,
etc etc. If you want to take a peek at it, tell me, and I'll mail it to
you. If not I'll just keep it to myself *grin*
Btw. I followed that idea of yours, to free the mob_proto and mob_index
tables in the code and see when they got corrupted. Seems they get
corrupted somewhere in the assigning of spec-procs... I'll have to look
into this some more. Thanks for the idea. Actually it's given me more info
on half an hour with moving free()'s arround the code and recompiling than
4-5 days of heavy use of debugging libraries et al... *snicker*
