Well you can interpret this as you want:
Gdb:

3:45am : @dkmud ~/mud>gdb bin/circle lib/core
Core was generated by `circle -C3 4600'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

1218    }
(gdb) bt

1213        if (GET_OBJ_SPEC(i) != NULL)
1214          if (GET_OBJ_SPEC(i) (ch, i, cmd, arg))
1215            return 1;
1216
1217      return 0;
1218    }

(gdb)

Interpreter.c(1218):
This is part of int special()...

  /* special in object present? */
  for (i = world[ch->in_room].contents; i; i = i->next_content)
    if (GET_OBJ_SPEC(i) != NULL)
      if (GET_OBJ_SPEC(i) (ch, i, cmd, arg))
        return 1;

  return 0;
}               <----- 1218

log("2.6");

    if (GET_LEVEL(ch) < 71) {
log("2.7");
        sprintf(buf, "The cost for you to train one statistic is %d
coins.", co$
log("2.8");
        send_to_char(buf, ch);
    }
 log("2.9");
    return 1;
log("2.91");  //Should never get here.
  }
log("3");

It feels like it is crashing on the returns.
When i have the return at the end of a if statement, i get a crash, if i
put it at the begining of the spec it works just fine.  This is a spec i
have been using for quite some time.  Only thing i changed was making
exp_cost into an array of 10 numbers so different stats cost different
amounts of exp.
