For those MUDs that are getting init_char() problems, here is the cause.
This also applies for all other CircleMUDs!!! I tested it on the latest
MUD.. well probably not the latest (2002050120-snapshot).
Try this:
1. create new character
2. delete character
3. enter same character name on second creation, but pick 'N' and choose
another name and create the character
4. quit game
5. log on your IMM
6. stat file (character one)
7. stat file (character two)
Notice you are stat'ing the same one character. This character's ID will
probably be 0 (didn't bother checking on the CVS, but it was on the MUD i'm
working on).
Fix? Not sure, but I'll give it a shot.
