[CODE] Say command crashes goodies tarball?

Hey,

I've been working with Ziz on his goodies tarball, and I seem to be the only
person who has this bug.  For some reason, the "say" command, either explicitly
used or with the shortcut (') will crash the MUD.

I'm running a Debian (mostly Woody) 2.4.18 system, with gcc version
2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease).

Here is the output from gdb:

Is there any other information needed to help solve this problem, I'll do my
best to provide it.
This information was just generated from a clean recompile of the newest
version of the goodies file, FYI.

Thanks for any help!
Adam
