Well, in interpreter.c I added the following, because what he has
mentioned here is a stock bug, but only in certain instances of
deletion. This method below is already used in interpreter.c, but
doesn't cover all deleted characters, so, I added it in.
if (PLR_FLAGGED(d->character, PLR_DELETED)) {
/* We get a false positive from the original deleted character. */
+ Crash_delete_file(GET_NAME(d->character));
free_char(d->character);
/* Check for multiple creations... */
I also mimicked this function for alias files, because I thought
those should be removed as well when a player is deleted. Fairly easy,
and saved me a lot of time explaining why a player named "Bob" for
example kept getting "You don't seem to have a sack." when he typed "gos
<whatever>".

Also, just as a note, I talked to a few people about the Oasis
problem I was having with the boards, and these people were having the
same problem. It would appear that a simple case CON_PLAYING: added to
that list for cleanup works fine. I make use a different check though,
since I have already had someone do a /a when they meant to do a /s and
their whole post got emptied.
