I found a small bug in the patch to common/object.c.  Seems
that some of the maps we've made with crossedit won't load.
You got "Trying to split object who's map is not in memory"
a lot of times, then the server dies.  When I de-applied the
patch to common/object.c, everything works OK.

Eric,  I can provide you with a map that exhibits this problem
if you'd like a sample...
