Referring back to the archives reveals _many_ discussions on the folly of trusting your compiler to properly init things... Sure, once ch is calloc()'d you have the structure, but no valid or trustable values for the sh_int that is ch->class (could be anything). IMHO trying to do this: ch->max_hit = class_table[ch->class].hp_base inside of new_char is just plain dumb, until they choose a class there is no _valid_ data in that variable. Or is that too simplistic a view? Steve, not so bored at work now!
