the overflow is because the mud is sending the input to your xterm window
too fast for it to handle it. i was getting the same errors, just to check
i quit out of X, to the shell prompt and did it again. it worked fine.
not real sure how to fix the problem tho. if you are looking for a way to
get a full list of all the objects on your mud, just put in a real quick
few lines of code in the olist func to open a file and print the same line
you print to the screen to that file.
