Actually, yes I have. It was an odd problem that I posted about
earlier, but didn't get any feed back really on. In my case, it was
because a spec_proc used extract_char() on itself. However, the pointer
to this mob apparently still exists and is used (and accessed) after the
spec_proc call, SO, it would screw up right there,and when I'd go look at
what caused it, it would be said extracted mob, one action-pulse after it
was extracted. It's rnum would be very large, and it would end up setting
the top_of_mobt as well, though not every time.
