I often have net lag in the evenings. I'll be running through Haven, the game will seem to freeze for a few ticks, and when the game recovers I'll find I've run much further than I had intended. Such are the joys of living in a small town.

Occasionally when the game recovers from such a freeze, I'll find myself in an impossible position. I'll be inside a wall, an NPC, or such. I'm completely unable to move, as none of my neighboring spaces are legal positions either. Usually the game will crash, sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few seconds. No error messages, just suddenly back to the desktop.

It happened twice tonight in Haven. (Oddly, it seldom happens if I'm soloing in the clockworks. Perhaps there's less info to communicate when I'm solo, and therefore less chance of the game totally going whonkers?)

Is there some way the game could catch such conditions, and fail more gracefully than a sudden crash? Or at least is there a way I can force a proper core dump, so you can trace it back? I'm running Ubuntu, BTW.
