[CF-Devel] Unclear crash

 There was a bug in 0.98.0 (and probably many releases earlier) that would cause
the server to crash if a character saved, but left themself connected to the
server.

 The description described seems a little similar to that, and a little
different.  But it is very hard to try and figure this out just from a
description.  
Even log file output tends not be be very useful - typically, a crash dump with
stacktrace is the minimum starting point to figure out the problem.  Often, that
isn't even enough - further investigation is needed (values of variables and so
forth), but some times a stack trace is sufficient to figure the function, and
just inspection of the function can sometimes figure it out.
