I'm not using 1.5, or the #define I_CRASH addition. I'm the type of person
who likes to figure out crashes instead of just commenting them out
(no offense to you, it's a good addition for this particular problem)

did that as soon as i read the email, and this is what i got
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 573140 Aug 21 20:10 /lib/libc.so.5.4.33
so i'm assuming it is 5.4.33 :-P

Nope, don't use it. I've still got like 1.2 or something like that (I
don't remember)

fond of the crashes (memorywrites to stuff it doesn't own?) or fond
of the freeing of memory it doesn't own? (or both :-P)
just so i know, because as soon as you get all the GenOLC functions working,
i'm gonna put 'em in.
I had previously gone through and created a NEWROOM function (basically
your add_room)
but, that was because i never thought anyone was TRULY going to fix
OasisOLC :-P
