You'd probably have to choose the stable branch of development to develop
such an FAQ.  The other thing is that you'd probably have to be Dworkin to
write it correctly :).

The "weirdo bug that used to crash the mud every swapout" was exactly what
I was getting (odd, since with all my tests with the kernel mudlib and the
packages it never showed up...guess it just never swapped, or if it did it
didn't step on the corrupted bit of memory).

This is now fixed (for my packages at least :) and the new versions are on
my web page at http://www.enol.com/~asmith/drf/.
