Comment or Suggestion:
 I experimented few problems with crossfire and crossedit

 First crossfire :

 The server does crashed from time to time when someone creates a new character :

 Here's what is on the output when crossfire is using -d option :

Trying to load map /opt/local/crossfire-0.96.0/share/crossfire/maps/HallOfSelection.
load_original_map: /HallOfSelection (0)
enter_map: supplied coordinates are not within the map! (/HallOfSelection: -1, 5)

SIGSEGV received.
Emergency saves disabled, no save attempted
Cleaning up...
Saving map /HallOfSelection
Player on map that is being saved
Player on map that is being saved
zsh: abort (core dumped)  crossfire -d

 Now with crossedit :

 The way this program is handling paths is buggy. First you cannot go out of the ${PREFIX}/share/crossedit/maps/ hierarchie, which is absurd because I might want to create or edit a map that is not yet a standard one.

 Second, when I try to save a map, crossedit forgot the path and try to save it in the root of the filesystem (/name_of_the_map) which it can't (that's a chance...) I'm obliged to choose save as.. and type the all path if I don't want to loose everything I did.

 Thanks.

 PS: Sorry for my not so good english, I'm french.
