It means that one of your area files has an error in it, and the MUD is failing to read in what it thinks is a word.

You want to look at the code for making the wizlist. Are you a coder and if so do you know how to use GDB?

You probably want to check the files in the gods/ directory, and make sure they all look normal... assuming of course that you know what a 'normal' file looks like. :)
