Nothing like having your login timed out trying to post and lose it all. I have traced up the stack and I found no issues with characters. I see them pushed all the way up the stack. I did find something very interesting going from frame 2 to frame 1.

we send in &world[ch->in_room] which is RNUM 1139 and in frame 1 we no longer have that value. It should be there, ch on the other hand we have not figured out yet and hence its NULL.
I cannot find any invalid free() that i can find for characters, I am looking now at rooms but I have yet to find any.
Sucks having 102 fever due to the walking pneumonia, i am starting to lose my mind LOL. IF you have any other pointers I am all ears.
