There is no easy fix. And I don't think it's a buffer issue. More than likely you are hitting the stack limit for the shell. When a character saves, the fwrite_obj calls itself over and over so it's possible to have a stack overflow. Fixing it isn't the easiest thing to do. The way I did it was I limited the number of items they could carry in one bag, then limited the number of items they could carry open in their inventory. Jef
