Thought I would add some information about what i've noticed with the growing zone.exe processes in windows2k3. The zone.exe process that grows the most for me is kithicor, and it crashes repeatedly. This may have something to do with the day/night perl operation. Not neccessarily perl, but it might be something to do with mob_list and/or npc_list.
As the script changes from the bixies to the skellies the lists grow and grow until they hit the hard coded 300 limit. When that happens, assigning a name to them creates logging errors adding ! to the beginning of the npc names until the zone crashes. It appears that the mobs are removed from the list or at least one of the lists but maybe it's not working correctly.
