I'm not too sure about your other questions, but having a character go into
neg. hps shouldn't cause the mud to crash. I installed alt.create.c the
other day; when I tested it using a mortal character, (with the forge
command), he screwed up, and the weapon blew up. This put him at -8 hp, I
think, which did  nothing but allow me to watch the character slowly die
(it gave him a status of being so injured that he was completely
incapacitated), every hour he would lose another hp., until -10, when he
died. Over all it was a pretty cool affect - so it seems that circle
already has taken -hp into account...
