if( ch->desc && ch->desc->host )
      fprintf( fp, "Site         %s\n", ch->desc->host );
   else
      fprintf( fp, "Site         (Link-Dead)\n" );   

Shouldn't there be tilde(~) characters after those two lines?

I don't think so. It's read in via fread_word or fread_to_eol (end of line).

Exactly. fread_word, fread_line, fread_to_eol and a couple of others use \n as a delimiter.

I actually noticed something like this in one of the snippets hosted here.

The liquid system replacement.
it works, but on boot it gives this message even though everything is installed correctly, and Everything works right. The mixtable.dat (I think thats what its called off the top of my head) is set up right, I even ended up deleting all of the mixtures made, and recreated them with the command on the mud, and still the same error message haunts me. But since it wasn't doing anything, but causing my bootup log to be ugly I have been ignoring it. But for some reason this post reminded me.
