Yeah, I've been playing around, getting various variables and whatnot to display, and it seems that garble_text is where the problems are, but I'm not sure why yet. However! It seems that if I set my language to Dwarven, it doesn't crash. In fact, it seems to work quite well, as long as I speak dwarvish. Any speaking of Common, Elvish or Gnomish crash, but that makes sense, because Dwarvish is the only special case in garble_text. Interestingly enough, Puff can talk OK it would seem, but it's always in an unfamiliar tongue, and it's not garbled. Anyway, just an update to anyone who's hacking through this. Hopefully one of us will come up with the answer.
