I don't mean to be a pedant, but this is NOT a crash. This is the MUD
quitting out because it found a condition it didn't like. Namely that
the character being extracted was in NOWHERE. This is not, to my
knowledge, any reported bug with either of the OLC systems (you didn't
specify which you use) and I don't see how it is really related to the
OLC system at all. Also, looking at the extract_char() calls won't
help you find where you've set ch->in_room to NOWHERE.
So, to summarize, it's probably(!) not a bug with whatever OLC system
you're using, and it is likely a mistake you have made with some other
code--specifically, any code that changes what room the character is
in. I might suggest making the log() statement in extract_char()
print out the character's name who caused the problem and then figure
out why extract_char() was being called (were they quitting the game
or killed or...?) That should help you narrow down the suspects.
