I've been continuing to struggle with my code to see if I can make any
progress at all. I've been getting problems in diskio.c running efence
linked code under gdb. But that makes no sense because it's identical to
the diskio.c that is on the ftp sit, etc. I'm sure many people use that
version, and it doesn't have this effect.
Here's a couple of examples of things that have been happening:

The above happens after creating an immortal, then logging him out and
trying to get back in (which crashes with the experience problem in the
pfile that I posted last night), and then creating a mortal, logging them
out, and logging them in, then shutting down and trying to restart the
mud. When generating the player index it fails like above.
Or, perhaps it will decide to die at the password screen. After logging a
character back in like so, sometimes it gives this error:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

These are NOT things I've touched. The code pieces which are "failing"
are stock code. (for ascii pfiles, or circle depending)
These errors are vastly different than the ones I recieve on the cygwin
box here at home. I can only assume that efence is stopping things, or
that efence or the difference in compilers is just causing failures in
different parts of the code.
Help!? Anyone have any suggestions at all? Please!
