From what I've heard the same cause of this crash can cause the game to crash when rescuing Khelevaster because of how he drops his items. I've heard of numerous reports of the game crashing at this stage, and had it happen to myself once. It's an extremely nasty way to lose a promising character (or one you've spent ages getting an AoLS with).

Is this the "signal 291" one? I think someone should post an error message.

I just post here to bump this bug now that TB wants to check this bug list again. Since it's probably the most important one.

From sorear: "When an item is marked as identifyable, such as a shop item or an ingot (if you pass a Metallurgy roll), the game identifies the class of items when they are stepped on. However, class identification will cause other ingots of the same type to become identified, and restacked; the restacking invalidates the initial identification's loop pointer, and things blow up. This also happens with Khelevastar (due to a bug, his spellbooks are sometimes marked as identifiable)"

The "identify" routines have been modified but need careful testing to check if all scenarios are fixed.

Great to see that this historic bug is finally getting some developer attention. Kudos!

Fixed.
