Obviously the player (hopefully the victim) has not been inited properly, or
something to that effect, since they do not have player_specials().  Perhaps
this line appears when mobs are the victim?  In that case, just stick an
IS_NPC(victim) around that stuff.

What does the snippet do in fight.c prior to, and when, it sends the victim
to the spirit world?  Also, the first frame in the debugger output comes
from dg_triggers.c:874, perhaps you should check out why command_wtrigger
coredumps?  Could it be that you're sending an extracted char to a new room,
and thus passing some odd data to command_wtrigger or something to that
effect?  It's not a null, obviously, since actor has data in it... Just
guesses, can't do much more without seeing the code, but you might want to
try to stick some logs in fight.c around the affected code, and in
dg_triggers.c, to see what's going on exactly, or use gdb to print the stuff
out if that makes more sense to you.
