You're getting a seg fault for attempting to derefernce an invalid
pointer. My guess is, that you haven't initialised the descriptors'
'olc' pointer to point to an olc structure (usually happens in oasis.c,
look for the error complaining that one was already present). Thus,
when doing the above switch, you're probably dereferencing a NULL pointer.
Possible ways to fix it:
1. (Recommended) Make sure you only go into oedit _after_ you've set up
the olc structure on the descriptor.
2. Hack (not recommended!): add a check to make sure the char has OLC
structure, or return to CON_PLAYING (in oedit_parse).
3. Go through your changes - find anything relating to OLC_* values. Make
sure it's not causing the problem.
4. Find your backup files (you _did_ make a backup, right ?). Make sure
they work as intended. Then reapply the race patch, by hand.
