Oh, rabbits. I think I can see what the problem is. It's a buffer overflow:

char s[30];
sprintf(s, "Start position and portals [%d]", m_room);
The problem is that 30 characters are sufficient for "Start position and portals []" but not for the digits. Maybe it's working with 1- or 2- digit numbers, but not 3-digit. I'll try increasing the buffer size and rebuilding. Later. It's past my bedtime now.
