since it IS a valid pointer to a memory address, you just are attempting to
access it the wrong way.
try doing a
p *temp and send me (private mail)
the output you get.
you didn't do that. (it says its an obj_data ptr, but that's what its CAST as)
i'm thinking you may be attempting an extract_obj() on a mob or character or
something of the sort.
