Ok, one of my coders installed improved_edit.c, the patch. He had to do it manually because our Circle code has been modified so greatly, that it's almost unrecognizable to be circle. After that he also installed tfiles_editor.c, also the patch. It seems to be working except for medit. Since then, we have been crashing when using medit without fail. I have tried to track this down myself, but I am looking for a better coder out there to help me with this problem. Here's what's up: You edit a new mob, ok.. looking good. It lets you edit it etc. (BTW: Using Oasis). When you get prompted, as you're leaving medit, to save the mobile, you type: yes you crash. Gdb produces the following: AB> Core was generated by `bin/circle 1234'. AB> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. AB> Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.5.4.4...done. AB> Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.1...done. AB> #0 0x40079e1d in free () AB> (gdb) bt AB> #0 0x40079e1d in free () AB> #1 0x4017baf4 in ?? () AB> #2 0x1 in ?? () AB> #3 0x104ec in ?? () AB> Cannot access memory at address 0x81e58955. Ok, next bug is when you edit an already existing mob. It let's you edit it, AND save it. But when you go to edit another mob, existing or new mob, it crashes right away. Doesn't even prompt you with the medit menu. Gdb produces the following: AB> Core was generated by `bin/circle 1234'. AB> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. AB> Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.5.4.4...done. AB> Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.1...done.

I have spent the last week trying to track this down, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would love some assistance on this. Thanks. Fate, Implementor of the Ruins.
