Okay, If anyone would like to help, here is a more complete listing
of my debug information:
This is circle30bpl12 with the socials editor , and from olc 1.3 to
the 1.6 patch.
Problem is any olc command now crashes the mud...If anyone
could help I would greatly appreciate it.


 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

  for (d = descriptor_list; d; d = d->next)
    if (d->connected == olc_scmd_info[subcmd].con_type)
 if ((number != NOTHING) && d->olc && OLC_NUM(d) == number)
       {
        if (subcmd == SCMD_OLC_AEDIT)
          sprintf(buf, "Actions are already being editted by %s.\r\n",

        send_to_char(buf, ch);
        return;
      }
