I have a sword of Occidental Mages +2 that I wanted to try out to see what it does... Every single time I kill things with it, the server crashes. (I am using a recent cvs version, Mandrake 8.2, Python 2.0.) Some background: I had to tweak the compile to get it to work with Python 2.0 since the detect didn't pick it up in lib/python. I have Python 2.2 on the machine since I upgraded from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.2. I guess I'll try compiling with that first. Not having done hardly any development on Linux/Unix, I am not very sure what the best way to track down things like this. I am willing to spend some time trying to get data... Any suggestions about how one might gather information? Nothing is printed in the log file that seems relevant.
