hello all,
I have been digging holes in my head over my crash bug that has
to do with the length of a characters name. durring the running of
the mud i get the following 2 errors:
Jun 16 22:38:00 :: System Error: one_argument received a NULL pointer!
Jun 16 22:38:00 :: System Error: init_char: Character '(null)' not found in player table.
all seems fine but the errors keep comming up.
when a new character logs on with less than a 8 character name (3
chars is fine) the mud continues to pump away. when a char with
8+ logs on all is fine untill the 8+ char wants to reconnect. (so i am
assuming is a problem reading pfile) on reconnect the following
occurs:
8 character name:::
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x806ca7b in game_loop (mother_desc=0) at comm.c:859
859 GET_WAIT_STATE(d->character) -= (GET_WAIT_STATE(d->character) >
0);
(gdb) bt
#0 0x806ca7b in game_loop (mother_desc=0) at comm.c:859
(gdb) lis
854 * If no wait state, no subtraction. If there is a wait
855 * state then 1 is subtracted. Therefore we don't go less
856 * than 0 ever and don't require an 'if' bracket. -gg 2/27/99
857 */
858 if (d->character) {
859 GET_WAIT_STATE(d->character) -= (GET_WAIT_STATE(d->character) >
0);
860
861 if (GET_WAIT_STATE(d->character))
862 continue;
863 }
(gdb)
Strange enough but this is what has been happening. i included the
player file of a test char which seems to be writing correctly:

if anyone is haveing or had similar problems please let me know. i
have researched the archives and added all the ascii fixes including
the fix to diskio.c
any help or larger clue than i have would be great
thanks
