Re: waking others

Presumably when the character loads, ch->on is not being set, so it's
a null (or unitialized pointer) so when you try to dereference
victim->on, you segfault.

The right way to fix it would be to see if you can set ch->on when a
player loads.

The quick 'n' dirty fix is to change your if statement to 
if (!IS_NPC(ch) && !IS_NPC(victim) && victim->on!=NULL &&
IS_SET(victim->on->value[2], SLEEP_ON))

Although that may not fix the problem if victim->on isn't initialized
to NULL, or if the problem is something else entirely. A bit of GDB
output would be nice.
