You'd be surprised.  I know people with CS degrees who have trouble
with some of these concepts.  Then again, I had a professor with a
doctorate who couldn't type...

Well, if you want to be really picky...
Nah I won't.

My do_function works basically the same as what he posted and has
never caused a problem.  I do limit the recursion depth so hopefully I
won't exceed my stack space, just in case a mobprog goes haywire or
something like that.

void do_function (CHAR_DATA *ch, DO_FUN *do_fun, char *argument)
{
    char command_string[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
    static int depth = 0;
    if (!ch || !argument || !do_fun)
      return;
    strncpy(command_string, argument, sizeof(command_string));
    depth++;
    if (depth > 50)
      bugf("DO_FUNCTION MAX DEPTH: [%s] %s", ch->name, argument);
    else
      (*do_fun) (ch, command_string);
    depth--;
}
