This may be unrelated, but I had a similar problem when
I was running the server under solaris. The server would vfork a robot
when a planet was taken out of T-Mode. Unfortunaely, the vfork routines
never seemed to work correctly. I finally gave up, and added a define
to config.h that macro'ed vfork to fork.
Hope this helps..
