server status

Feb 27, 2004 a1k0n link
The server is NOT stable, so please log off to save frequently.

There's some random, periodic corruption of an internal data structure of the server, and I added some checks. For now, I have the checks dumping core, i.e. killing the server, so I have a complete record of what happened. Ultimately, without the check the server would be only margnially more stable, crashing at a later time. So I'm afraid we'll have another weekend of server debugging, hopefully the last in a long time.

/me watches as a1k0n hits himself over the head realizing that it was either A) yet ANOTHER assert that had side effects or B) just forgot that (*&*(&#@$ semicolon again. :)

Nah, it turned out my assert was correctly placed. I added even more strict checking now to figure out how stuff got so out of wack.

Amazing that the server hasn't crashed yet. Crash, damn you!
