Recompiling should alleviate any 64 bit problems
but the code stayed within 32 bit limits in
all aspects on the alpha machine. I completely
blew away all binary files when this moved occured
and wiped the pfile.
This is the only problem I can uncover related to the move.
I am clueless on this one. I have tested and tested this
with the same results each time. I cannot recreate this
problem on the alpha machine.

Subject: Re: Problme after moving to RH 60 machine
I'm taking a guess here, but I believe the problem lies in your moving
from a 64 bit architecture to a 32 bit one, coupled with code that was
actually broken beforehand, but since you were running on the alpha,
the extra bits made things work.
More specifically, I believe your code references either zone numbers
or zone/object/room/mob vnums in different sizes and that under the
alpha, either they were the same size (caused by different compiler
defaults) or the difference was not significant. Sorry I can't help further;
you'll need to do some hard core debugging to narrow things down
better. I had to solve the same problem a few months ago, and it was
not trivial.
