CF: Server crashes in 'tower of demonology' when conjurers cast 'dancing sword'

[Norbert Irmer <>]

Hello,

I downloaded the crossfire snapshot from 2000/05/24,
because I had problems with 'cfclient' crashes due
to too long object descriptions.  

This problem seems to be solved now, but instead of this
the server now sometimes crashes when conjurers cast the
'dancing sword' spell.

I noticed this at the 'tower of demonology'. The crash occured
two times when I sent an 'avatar' into a room full of conjurers,
and once when I ran into the room myself.

Now i am totally frustrated, has anybody an idea, how to fix
this ?

The last messages I got from the server looked like this:

........
Object jack boots applied, gen_sp_armour + 4 = 33
Object dragon mail applied, gen_sp_armour + 9 = 19
Object full helmet applied, gen_sp_armour + 10 = 29

SIGSEGV received.

Cleaning up...

These crashes seem to have something to do with the
'dancing sword' spell.
