Sounds like you've got a buffer overflow somewhere... if you've added anything recently to your score display you might want to start there, but if not, it could just be that a name or something is overflowing it... most likely you've got some kind of buf variable that's declared as MAX_STRING_LENGTH or something, and the text that's being loaded into it is longer than that, which is where it's crashing... this could be due to a large sprintf with some long strings being referenced, or to a strcat that's just tacking more and more onto the end of it and eventually overflowing it... what I'd suggest is to run the mud in gdb and break at do_score, and then just 'next' through it until it crashes, and go take a look at the line that it crashed on...

When I type 'Score' I get disconnected from the MUD and it goes down. I have to reboot it from the shell. Any ideas?
