After playing around with checker...

Wed Oct  1 14:17:01 :: Reading news, credits, help, bground, info & motds.
From Checker (pid:22086): (nma) no memory addressed.
When Reading 4 byte(s) at address 0xbfffd7f4, inside the nothingness
segment.
THIS SHOULD CAUSE A SEGMENTATION FAULT.
Known_stack_limit = 0xbfffd808
Stack frames are:
        pc=0x080df5cb in _IO_fopen() at iofopen.c:34
        pc=0x08091e3b in file_to_string() at db.c:2167
        pc=0x08091d6e in file_to_string_alloc() at db.c:2149
        pc=0x080876b2 in boot_db() at db.c:246
        pc=0x080487fe in init_game() at comm.c:236
        pc=0x0804872a in main() at comm.c:215
        pc=0x0804810c in _start() at :0

Well, the boot_db() line does a file_to_string_alloc() on the credits file
which does exist...

Anyone else played with Checker? :)
