Re: Problem with 0.91.4 version?

Hello,

   One of the archetype that is messed up is the city_tower

>dumpbelow
arch city_tower_2
name Tower
face city-tower.211
x 19
y 22
type 66
no_pick 1
is_floor
end

There is another tower to the left that does _not_messed up

>dumpbelow
arch city_tower_2
name Newbie Tower
slaying towers/tower
face city-tower.211
x 16
y 24
type 66
no_pick 1
is_floor 1
end

The temporary file saved in the tmp directory is definitely corrupted.  And
the problem does seems to happen when the tmp file is created.
One instance of that file has the following data
     1  arch map
     2  name city

In the first case, the tower at location x=16,y=23 and x=16,y=24 existed; but
the tower at location x=19,y=21 and x=19,y=22 does _not_ 
In the second case, neither tower is present; as a matter of fact the string 
'city_tower' does not exists at all!
