Descriptive Problem Summary:
Entering a parent type for a parent causes dream maker to freeze and become non responsive. Found this out after I changed something I previously had.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Enter in a parent,
Set it's parent type to what it already is,
Compile,
Non responsive dream maker,
Ctrl + Alt + Del to shutdown dream maker


Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob
parent_type = /mob


Expected Results:
A compiler error maybe?

Actual Results:
Dream maker crashing

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Every time
In other user accounts?
Yes
On other computers?
Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?
Never

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

I don't know, it occurs in the latest stable version as well.

Workarounds:

Obviously, there's no reason to do this. Though if you end up changing something and miss it you will end up with a dead dream maker.
