First of all, thank you Thomas and team for fixing the issue so quickly. It's also good to know that the open-source operating system teams of */Linux and the *BSDs are working on the Y2038 problem.
Secondly, I found an old friend in the code base. My sleepy brain last night couldn't figure out why it was crashing when I tried to create a character with a password, but I was noticing that the second parameter passed to strncmp() was 0x0. But yes, it was the same problem that I had run across years before.
MUD Crash on logon - crypt() strncmp()
At any rate, the solution is the same.
