Based upon nanny() in interpreter.c, dt->character MUST exist before
Valid_name() is called, which is one of the reasons why when I posted
previously the blurb, I didn't check for character.
Maybe an "assert (dt->character);" before the check, so you can do a
#define NDEBUG after you know it works. The only other reason is that
GET_NAME() checks if IS_NPC(), so... if that character structure has the
NPC bit set, it may cause problems, with a backtrace, it's hard to say.
