world exe opcode errors - clients go linkdead

[sysadmin]

I am getting all kinds of opcodes when clients log in.
this is what is installed in my server

mysql 4.0.23
eqemu 6 dr2 11-2-2004 build
using peq 5.8 classic db
no quest engine installed(no perl)

This is what I get as soon as a character logs in, they can be different depending on what the client is doing.
