I've just started writing eggdrop modules, and i must say, i'm having a blast. the first one went very well (quite a simple one, so very easy to do) but the second one is not going so well.
i have a binding setup to pubm that catches everything that is said by anyone on the channel. it takes what they say and when they say it and sticks it in a linked list.
yes, it's a seen program. but none of the others did exactly what i wanted, and i thought this would be a good place to start before i got into some of the heavier ones i wanted to write.
at first everything lived in the function that was called by the binding for H_pubm. but i wanted to have joins and leaves effect this as well, so i put all the linked list updating into it's own function, and call that from the bound functions.
this works perfectly fine for the function that is bound to H_pubm. everytime someone says something, their list entry gets updated (or created if they hadn't spoken before)
when this function is called from the function bound to H_join, it segfaults the bot. it doesn't even get to execute the first line of the function that it's calling, it just flat out dies.
what could i possibly be doing wrong that a function called from one place works, but from another place it kills things? does some funkiness go on in regard to join binds that i am unaware of?
thanks!

help, my module is crashing eggdrop!
Compile your bot with the DEBUG argument ('make debug').
When the bot crashes lookup a file called core (or core.<number>) and run 'gdb eggdrop core' (or 'gdb eggdrop core.<number>')
The program gdb uses the source files and the program to lookup where it crashed (last line). Sometimes it may look like a library crashed but then you used that library's function incorrectly.
