Hey All
We're currently looking so much at corefiles that we are blue in the face
(or black/white, you decide.. :), since we're having mysterious crashes
when people edit new rooms. This is a new crash and as soon as I have some
more information, I might ask about this... BUT!!
The other day, one of our players type 'get coins from corpse' should be
pretty much straightforward, *BOOM* Mud crashes, very big ponder about
this one..
So, my trusty (And wellused) gdb got fired up once again to reveal the
following:
(gdb) bt

Hmm, what? perform_act is acting (pun intended) up?? Fortunately that is
easily tested, so we go into the mud and type 'get coins corpse', this
time no crash (Even more confusing). Back to the corefile
(gdb) frame 1
#1 0x804cf71 in act (str=0x81370c0 "There doesn't seem to be a coins in
$p.", hide_invisible=0, ch=0x863a8e8, obj=0x86191b8, vict_obj=0x0,
type=4) at comm.c:2086
(gdb) print *obj
$3 = {item_number = -1, in_room = 153, obj_flags = {value = {0, 0, 0, 1},
type_flag = 15 '\017', wear_flags = {1, 0, 0, 0}, extra_flags = {8, 0, 0,
0},
weight = 200, level = 0, cost = 0, cost_per_day = 100000, timer = 5,
bitvector = {0, 0, 0, 0}, curr_slots = 0, total_slots = 0, material = 0},
affected = {{

modifier = 0 '\000'}, {location = 0 '\000', modifier = 0 '\000'},
{location = 0 '\000',
modifier = 0 '\000'}, {location = 0 '\000', modifier = 0 '\000'},
{location = 0 '\000', modifier = 0 '\000'}}, name = 0x8619270 "corpse",
description = 0x8619280 "The corpse of the magnificent stallion is lying
here.", short_description = 0x0, action_description = 0x0, ex_description

0x0, id = 406116, proto_script = 0x0, script = 0x0, next_content = 0x0,
next = 0x85dafa0}
Erh, So.. this .. no.. I cannot make any sense of this at all.. Any takers
for clues? Any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. :)
