Don't forget to also check the actual exit. There is a chance that the exit
exits, but goes to -1 because it is an exit desc.

If an exit does not exist.... Then it quite literally does NOT exist. It
doesn't exist as an option for movement and it doesn't exist in memory
either. That is probably why the attempt to accesss a non-existant exit
crashed the MUD.
