You cannot call kfuns from outside an object.  In the kernel library (and
other mudlibs), save_object() is redefined by a static function in the
auto object.  You cannot call static functions from outside an object,
either.

Finally, whether or not the player object is able to save in the System
directory depends solely on the access of the player object itself, not
on the access of the caller.
