It looks like your problem is with the object code and I'm not sure
what all might be wrong there, but just to let you know, when I added
my version of dual wield code, for the second attack on the off hand,
I wound up having a crash when mobs were incapacitated but not dead
after the player's attacks were done. This was because I didn't
require a check_pos before each attack if get_pos(ch) > POS_STUNNED &&
FIGHTING(ch)(then) do an attack. It was trying to give the mobs
attacks while they were incapacitated and that was crashing it. That
may or not be an issue, but if you're having problems and don't know
why, that may be part also..
