The number before the Segfault is the PID, useless. Edit src/Makefile, and
replace -O2 with -g, make clean, make, then do ulimit -c unlimited and start
the mud. When it crashes, you'll find a file called 'core'. Run 'gdb
bin/circle core', and you will be in a debugger. Type 'bt' to get the state
of the stack at the crash. Type 'help' to see more useful ccommands.
