It appears commenting the stuff out fixed it. Hmm, odd. I think the problem must be in either A) extract_asteroid or B) asteroid_to_system.

Hmm, I just thought of something. What exactly is the significance of using extract_asteroid in the load_asteroid_file function? The starsystem will ALWAYS be NULL making the function return immediately. Not only that but also extract_Asteroid is called within asteroid_to_system.

Finally Fixed! Woot!

          extract_asteroid( asteroid );
          asteroid_to_system( asteroid , starsystem_from_name(asteroid->home_system) );

That was the malicious code, in load_asteroid_file. I replaced it with:

       if ( asteroid->timer == 0 )
	asteroid->timer = -1;

       asteroid->starsystem = starsystem_from_name( asteroid->home_system );

This allows the code to handle the addition of the asteroid to a system. Anyways, fixed version is at http://ew.xidus.net/code/3.0a.c if you wish to have a look. If not, you can just wait till the snippet version comes out. :)

Thanks to everyone, especailly Nick who got me lookin in the right spot.
