Problem with displaying room VNUM in prompt.

I'm having a problem with Circle 3.0bpl4 running under Ultrix v4.4 with 
gcc 2.5.8.  The following seems to work fine under Linux, however, if I 
have this code installed on the Ultrix system the MUD core dumps right 
after the player connects and enters their name.  They don't get a 
password prompt.  I haven't gotten a chance to look over the core file yet
but thought I'd throw it up here to see if anyone has any quick fixes:


void make_prompt(struct descriptor_data * d)
{
  struct room_data *rm = &world[d->character->in_room];

  if (d->str)
    write_to_descriptor(d->descriptor, "] ");
  else if (d->showstr_point)
    write_to_descriptor(d->descriptor,
			"\r\n*** Press return to continue, q to quit ***");
  else if (!d->connected) {
    char prompt[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];

    *prompt = '\0';

    if (PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_DISPHP))
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%dhp ", prompt, GET_HIT(d->character));

    if (PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_DISPMANA))
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%dma ", prompt, GET_MANA(d->character));

    if (PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_DISPMOVE))
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%dmv ", prompt, GET_MOVE(d->character));

    if (GET_LEVEL(d->character) >= LVL_IMMORT)        /* Added 2/10/95 */
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%drm ", prompt, rm->number);

    if (GET_INVIS_LEV(d->character))
      sprintf(prompt, "%si%d ", prompt, GET_INVIS_LEV(d->character));

    strcat(prompt, "> ");
    write_to_descriptor(d->descriptor, prompt);
  }
}
