Hrmmm, looks like command_interpreter is being called with the actor
instead of the mob being passed as the character, this can happen from a
number of different places (note I'm referring to my own source which is
a significantly older and hacked-up version of DG Scripts, so YMMV)...

command_interpreter is called from script_driver in dg_scripts.c, the
line that calls it should look something like this...

          command_interpreter((char_data *) go, cmd);

In the case of a greet mob trigger, script_driver is called from
greet_mtrigger in dg_triggers.c, look through this function very
carefully, the most significant lines are as follows...

  trig_data *t;
...
    for (t = TRIGGERS(SCRIPT(ch)); t; t = t->next) {
...
        intermediate =  script_driver(ch, t, MOB_TRIGGER, TRIG_NEW);

Look through the greet_mtrigger function very carefully (you may even
want to run the MUD in gdb and set a breakpoint for this function and
step through it while monitoring ceartain key variables)
