I'm not all that familar with WinMOO, so I don't know the crash frequency,
but it is a bad idea to just blindly use the database produced from a PANIC
in place of a known useable database (ie, the one that you originially
started with).

I would suggest writing the db to a different file, but that's personal
preference.

Does having to use this loop mean that WinMOO does crash often?
