[newbie]A strange crash

From: Silk (giorgio.merlante@GALACTICA.IT)

Im here again with a new request for an interpretation of the gdb output.
The crash of today, seems caused by CTELL, the command used for using tell
within clans. Im talking about the clan patch posted on the snippet page.
The odd thing is that it works fine, people uses ctell, but in some cases it
crashes the mud.Here the result:

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance and regards
