I'll add two more to that, they may be related.

Using exits a second time will sometimes cause a server crash.  I was unable 
to track it down.

Just walking around in one of my experimental maps will crash on occaision, 
but that may be just my map.

I suspect there is some weird memory corruption or off by one error somewhere.  
I don't have Purify, but I tried Electric Fence, kept running out of ram.

On the plus side, I did track dowm and fix the monsters on tiled maps bug that 
I may have mentioned a while ago.  Seems that the server assumed that all 
parts of a multi part monster are on the same map as the head while moving.  
So a multi part monster can move it's head onto the map, but will crash if it 
moves further.  Fixed this, and I will commit shortly.

I have finished my holidays now, so maybe someone with a copy of Purify can 
try to track down these othor crashes.
