I decided to add log entries for snoop and load...
well, I added a log entry in stop_snooping(), and it caused a bad
problem... it started allocating 100megs of memory to the mud...
and all I did was add "char *buf;" and before
ch->desc->snooping = NULL;
I added
sprintf(buf, "(GC) %s has stopped snooping.", GET_NAME(ch));
mudlog(buf, NRM, LVL_GRGOD, TRUE);
This problem happened only when I typed "snoop" to stop snooping.
ANY ideas as to why?
Sure, you never initialize the pointer *buf. That sprintf statement will
screw everything up. Try changing the declaration from
char *buf;
to
char[512]; /* or however big you think you'll need, for this example
512 should be plenty */
