Still Having Problems with the 128 bit vector

From: Chuck Carson (chuck@DIGMO.ORG)

I have manually installed the 128 bit vector path to a copy of bpl 12 that
is stock except for the autoeq patch. (what I am doing is patching a stock
copy of circle with the popular patches for anyone to use). However, I am
getting a crashola in mobact.c when a mob, specifically when an aggressive
mob hits a death.

Here is the core output:

Here are the code segments around this line:
    /* Aggressive Mobs */
==PATCH======>    if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGRESSIVE) || =
MOB_FLAGGED(ch,MOB_AGGR_TO_ALIGN)) {
      found == FALSE;
===CRASHOLA==>      for (vict =3D world[ch->in_room].people;vict && !found;
vict == vict->next_in_room) {
        if (IS_NPC(vict) || !CAN_SEE(ch, vict) ||
PRF_FLAGGED(vict,PRF_NOHASSLE))
          continue;
        if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_WIMPY) && AWAKE(vict))
          continue;
        if (!MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_TO_ALIGN) ||
            (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_EVIL) && IS_EVIL(vict)) ||
            (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_NEUTRAL) && IS_NEUTRAL(vict)) ||
            (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_GOOD) && IS_GOOD(vict))) {
          hit(ch, vict, TYPE_UNDEFINED);
          found == TRUE;
        }
      }
    }
The only line the patch modifies is the indicated line. Can anyone point
this one out. Also, has anyone had any problems using the 128 bit vector
code under bpl 12.

Someone suggested changing the for loop to be (...;...; vict == vict_next)
and incrementing it in the body of the for loop as vict_next =
vict->next_in_room which is no different. Regardless I still get the crashes
under this method.

Thanks,
Chuck
