First off, I would like to say that this snippet was only tested on a
Linux system, and is not guuranteed to work on anything else. Now that I
got that disclaimer out of the way, on to the code analysis.

It could be the placement of the case 'Z' part of the code. There are 2
functions that match the criteria of where to place it. Since my site is
down, I can't tell you which function it is. If the code doesn't work,
try the other function.

Ok, first, something I noticed. Is the zone shaped and number like it is
supposed to? If not, there's a problem right there. That would indicate
why it is crashing on that line, because the exit which the code expects
to exists, doesn't. In all truth though, the numbers after the Z make no
difference, as they are never even read. This could mean that the case
'Z' code was placed in the wrong function. Other then that, I can't
think of what might be causing it. The code is based off a simple
algorithm.
