That's more or less what I was hoping fread_temp_char wouldn't look
like, because I don't see any answers.

I'm assuming that this line is actually somewhere above the for (;;) loop?
What's interesting is that it works with #PLAYER there at all, since I
don't really see any place that it would be read in, whether it's
being loaded from the database or not (unless you modified fread_char
to eat it first). Is it not logging any "bad section" or "no match"
bugs?
