Hello, Quick info: CircleMUD 3.0 bpl 18, ASCII pfiles, DG Scripts 0.99, OasisOLC 2.0, Linux I've been with the list for a while now, and I must apologize for my rudimentary perception of pointers and rvalues and lvalues, and oh my! I recently started using the Electric Fence library, and as I sat here and tried some stuff out, I noticed that the mud SIGSEGV's when I view a text file in the mud, and then reload any of the textfiles. > credits ... > reload imotd Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x808ba15 in file_to_string_alloc (name=0x80f85bf "text/credits", buf=0x81164bc) at db.c:3238 3238 if (in_use->showstr_vector && *in_use->showstr_vector == *buf) (gdb) bt #0 0x808ba15 in file_to_string_alloc (name=0x80f85bf "text/credits", buf=0x81164bc) at db.c:3238 #1 0x8083b85 in do_reboot (ch=0x479cc000, argument=0xbffff536 " credits", cmd=293, subcmd=0) at db.c:283 #2 0x80aec41 in command_interpreter (ch=0x479cc000, argument=0xbffff530 "reload credits") at interpreter.c:850 #3 0x808001c in game_loop (mother_desc=6) at comm.c:872 #4 0x807f81d in init_game (port=9000) at comm.c:493 #5 0x807f4bf in main (argc=4, argv=0xbffff994) at comm.c:372 At first I thought this had to do with my MySQL conversion of file_to_string_alloc, but I tried it on my regular source and it dumps there too. I even checked a clean circle30bpl19 and it happens here too. I suppose this is a necessary evil, or is there a solution out there? Thankful for any help and suggestions...
