Once upon a time I had a "problem" user.
More then one actually, but he was the prototype:)
Depending on your code base you might want to take a look at what
sort of stuff they are adding to player descriptions and etc.
I have seen that sort of info "bleed" over into other player info and munge
the Pfile. This user I had that did this stuff I refered to as the Jinx, but he
was cooperative and helped uncover several bugs over the long run:)
This was some time ago, but some of the same bugs might be involved.
