       Yep - probably around line 1450 in server/attack.c.  If

Yes, this solves the problem.

I have encountered another problem. When i put fog into the inventory of 
a generator,
the server crashes after some time. I suppose the reason is, that fog 
itself is a
generator, which destroys itself after one generation (probably to 
achieve the
random fog movement?) and it isn't expected that it is in the inventory of
another object. But i am not sure. Is it possible to do a debug build ?
Perhaps with 'configure --with-debug' ?
