EOF Errors

what exactly is an EOF error?

and how can i determine where this EOF error is, it could be in any one of my races?

Thu Feb 26 12:06:22 2004 :: Loading races
Thu Feb 26 12:06:22 2004 :: [*****] BUG: fread_word: EOF encountered on read.

and:

Thu Feb 26 12:12:49 2004 :: Sam@localhost new Angles Druid.
(then hits x)
Thu Feb 26 12:13:42 2004 :: EOF encountered on read.
Thu Feb 26 12:13:42 2004 :: Closing link to Sam.

EOF means End Of File, I think. Your second message means that person went linkdead. Try looking over your race files. One of the lines probably has an error, or mistype.

all of my race files look like so (cept with name change)

i dont see anythin wrong, but it still shows that error
should i just ignore it?

Well... does the mud still run normally with that error?

You might have to use gdb to put a breakpoint on the bug routine, then "bt" to find exactly what file was causing it.

yes it still runs fine

i guess i wont worry about it then
it bothers me though, i dont want any crashing later
