Does this issue exist in 504? What's the earliest place you've seen it?

[edit]
Nevermind. I found the cause; it changed in 504.

I would like to re-open this as its crashing the game again when changing world.maxx, maxy, maxz parameters as of this version [508.1299] using dream seeker.

I had a test world set at 100x100, 4 z levels and ran this code. It just froze and eventually crashed.

mob/verb
    Test()
        world.maxx = 50
        world.maxy = 50
        world.maxz = 3


* Can confirm this bug does not occur in [507.1286] *

The issue you're reporting was already fixed since 508.

I was just using the latest stable beta which is [508.1299] and is freezing and crashing again. Not unless its been addressed in the beta versions?

508.1299 is the current mainline release. 509.1300 onwards is the beta.

Yes. There is a closed bug report for this already, although in fairness it's on page 2: id:1934067. It's also in the release notes for 509.

Ah! all right thanks! I'll look more into the beta version.
