hi All
Lastest crash was tracked down to DG-Scripts:
#0 0x80c7e04 in find_else_end (trig=0x854cc98, cl=0x854c620,
go=0x854d1f8, sc=0x854cc20, type=0) at dg/dg_scripts.c:2130
2130 for (c = cl->next; c->next; c = c->next) {
Oki, wondering what that meant and tracking through the scripts I found a
script that seemed to be the sinner, format was like this, everything
behind # is a comment
----- Start script -----
if (<some statement>) # First IF
if (<another statement>) # Second IF
<DO SOMETHING>
else # Belonging to Second IF
<DO SOMETHING ELSE>
else # Really belonging to the First IF, but missing an END
<DO SOMETHING ELSE>
----- End Script -----
So, this one crashed because there (from scripts p.o.v.) was 2 Else's
within the same if (Not good scripting, but still, DG should prevent the
mud from crashing when doing something like that.. :).
I've tried different things with various degrees of luck, So far my idea
was schematic:
Found if
Look for else, elseif or end.
Now, if we at ANY POINT in that search hits that we have no more lines in
the script then stop execution and SCRIPT ERR that. So far, my solution to
the problem has been to do this in find_else_end (dg_scripts.c),
Here's a diff of my suggestion:

If anyone has a better idea, I'd very much like to know.. :)
This one has been sent to Mark Heilpern as well :)
