If you are using the liblist snippet, and someone does rlist 0 10000
or any other command which will generate a buffer large enough to overflow
you'll end up with that. You may also notice everyone on the mud loses the
ability to use spells. Either define a larger buffer and use that, or add
in a check and stop putting stuff in that buffer.
grep for OVERFLOW in the code and copy that section that performs the check.
