New problems

[Xanthan]

Just in the last day or so I am suddenly running into major problems:

1) When I re-enter the hydlaa plaza area after being on another map (with maps kept once loaded), things get so slow I have to exit the game.  It's fine when I re-enter.

2) When in hydlaa, if I quit, I can't re-enter the game most of the time.  Entering with a different character elsewhere works, and eventually (hours later) and I re-enter.  It always dies in the same place in step five.  Sometimes it is a segmentation fault, sometimes and illegal instruction.  Here's the last page of "--verbose" output:

Segmentation fault

if you could build a client in debug and post a backtrace that will help otherwise there is not much we can do for you based on that info.

The problem seems to go away on a server reset.  The illegal instruction makes me suspect a failed assertion.

[Xanthan]

Hmmm - this is recurring constantly now.  The client crashes while I'm in the portal going from the library area into the Hydlaa Plaza.  Then it crashes with a segmentation fault in the same place noted above whenever I log in.  Eventually there is a server reset and then I can get back in, though it also seems to have something to do with the time-of-day in the game.

Has there been a new release of the linux client since the initial release for this server version?  Is there a way to determine the version?  The updater says there are no updates.

[Xanthan]

This seems to be repeatable.  Usually in the plaza area, just entering it, the client gets super slow and eats up tons of memory and CPU time.  Then it dies with the message:  "Warning: attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab"

Upon attempting to restart I get the error given above.  However, if I go in as an alternate character I can _usually_ get in ok.  After that I am able to log in again with my main character.  Hopefully this will be useful debugging info if anyone else runs into this.
