Rerolling Stats Bug

From: Silk (silk@ici.net)
Date: 11/23/98


Having problems with some rerolling of stats. I can (usually) try to roll
a few times before it crashes, but sometimes it can crash right when it
goes to roll the first time. It seems to me that the problem is not in the
actual code involving the rolling of the stats, but something with that
particular CON_ value. I'm using a modified bpl11, but this has never
worked reliably since I first moved it from one server to another, and all
successive servers. (Oddly, the first was a SunOS box, and all successive
were Linux boxes of one flavor or another. Hmmm...)

Anyways, I'm attaching an auto-gdb'd log file, if you need more
information, please let me know.
