UCS and Queryserv: Segmentation Fault

[Huppy]

In windows, "localhost" will always resolve into tcp/ip (127.0.0.1), but that is not always the case in linux, it can do crazy things, like trying to resolve into an IPv6 address, but either way, not sure why people are so adamant about using that infamous localhost. Using 127.0.0.1 in all the configs, will guarantee to rule out that cause, for anything local.

Debugging it done, the error is actually in eqemu_logsys.cpp in platform_file_name.c_str(). "ucs" is definitely in platform_file_name but somehow c_str is causing a segmentation fault. I am rusty on my C++ at the moment but I will get a resolution.

At some point platform_file_name is getting assigned the value of ucs, but at the time LogSys.StartFileLogs() is ran at ucs.cpp on line 101, that value does not appear to be there, at least on the surface. When we get to eqemu_logsys.cpp line 462 it throws a segmentation fault, my best guess is there is a null there. I am still reading on proper use of c_str but on the surface I guess there is a null there. There is a check for empty but it seems to blow past that.
