I have this same crash bug myself. Yes, the crash goes through
copy_object() but more specifically free_object_strings() at which it
crashes the first time it tries to free something:
void free_object_strings(struct obj_data *obj)
{
<snip, debugging code>
if (obj->name)
free(obj->name); <--*crash, line 385*
if (obj->description)
free(obj->description);
if (obj->short_description)
free(obj->short_description);
if (obj->action_description)
free(obj->action_description);
if (obj->ex_description)
free_ex_descriptions(obj->ex_description);
}
Program recieved signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

etc. I use Windows and it seemingly is not therefore an OS problem. Call
me crazy or stupid, (limited knowledge) but is this because the pointer to
the object structure that it is trying to free the strings on is set to NULL
by iedit_setup_existing()? Or is that completely wrong?
