Certainly not, but what it looks like (and keep in mind i'm not
the expert here) is that its attempting to free memory that has already
been freed. What you may wish to do is add a check before your 'free'
statements just to make sure that what you're specifically freeing really
exists like if(mob_proto && *mob_proto) free( mob_proto);
Haven't the slightest idea how it could be zone related.
