Err no, I believe Erwin was suggesting that somebody had to actually visit
a room before it will reset.  I.e. if no player or wizard goes into a room
its not going to bother restting itself.  I think some drivers had an option
for this (LAZY_RESETS?) but the 2.4.5 driver didn't by default.  To find out
what the dgd emulation is doing though you really need to look at the code!

You seem to say later on here that people are visiting the rooms but 
they aren't resetting.

Are these rooms you've written yourself or the stock 2.4.5 rooms?
