Well, the server doesn't crash, but about 20 seconds after I
log on with a player, my connection is killed. This happens
*always*, so I actually wonder how Mark could "overlook" it? =)
(Of course this happened with the server from latest CVS).

The problem happens on the "/HallOfSelection" map. When a player logs
on to the server, a player object is created on that map, for
some weird reason (I suspect this is a kinda copy of my own player). I
can even see that "ghost player" standing on the pentagram while
typing in my user password! (I am NOT creating a new character, and I
play local - alone!).
Well, the game works fine but only till the moment where it tries
to save (and swap out) the HallOfSelection. In that second, the
server realizes that some mess is going on and kills all objects
that he doesn't like. My real player-object gets removed in this
proccess, thus brutely killing my connection.

Here is my server log:
