Hi, I have attached two small files with this message that show my error.
I'm sure the error is self evident but I have to go to work soon and really
need this code to work! So, in an attempt to fix it, I'm asking for your
help.

When i compile this program with the line:
 gxx test.cc -o test.exe 

I get no errors.

When I run the program I get the following:
SEGSEGV under dos box in win95 (error occurs at the line: map[y][x].height
= seaLevel according to Rhide) in the function clear_map

Under Rhide I get the same thing

As this program is a cut down version of my actual game. I'll say that my
actual game gives the same result as above. Also, every now and again, the
program runs through and everything is ok.

Please help - without this I have no game!
