So fresh download and running just for looking at issues.
Seems good just messing with stuff and didn't do much but a hotboot it drops link and won't let me reconnect because of mccp issue on the mud.

in hotboot.cpp around line 708 find and change

         och->save(  );
         if( !argument.empty(  ) && str_cmp( argument, "debug" ) )
         {
            d->write( "\r\nThe flow of time is halted momentarily as the world is reshaped!\r\n" );
            if( d->is_compressing )
               d->compressEnd(  );
         }

to this

         och->save(  );
         if( d->is_compressing )
            d->compressEnd(  );

         if( !argument.empty(  ) && str_cmp( argument, "debug" ) )
            d->write( "\r\nThe flow of time is halted momentarily as the world is reshaped!\r\n" );

its never ending it and causes issues.

That whole debug sequence needed more than just a simple fix so I've reworked it and now it appears to be functioning correctly again.
