This may be caused by the patch I assume is in the distrib; I
altered the patch titled: "OasisOLCv2.0a-bpl17.patch.gz" in the
contrib/olc directory. The readme for iedit0.2 describes this.
I haven't, and normally do not test anything under windows.
Because of the many different types of setups, I feel it'd be too much
time - a coder should be able to account for cross-platform differences
(as someone did with the dynamic-boards patch).

I highly doubt that this though, is a windows-only problem. I
shall endevor to locate the cause of this problem. Sounds like it is a
memory allocation problem, well..since that's the only spot of trouble for
this function. In brief, iedit works by piggybacking itself on oedit. It
works exactly like oedit except for when saving and doing a setup. This
is determined by the primary (not OLC) mode. In oedit, it is set to
CON_OEDIT, and in iedit, CON_IEDIT. I'd (and will, eventually) eyeball
the patch after it is applied, and check the do_iedit function that it is
properly bypassing the oedit setup, and the quit areas for proper storage
of the beast. Then I'd run it in a debugger and read the back trace.

I swore it was working, I could have been mistaken. I had thought
that the Oasis patch listed above, with bpl17, iedit0.2 and nothing else
at all patched cleanly and worked. Will not hurt to check again though.
