I can't help much on your specific crashing issues but if you look in your p99 > Everquest > Log > dbg file you should be able to find a clue as to what's going on.

I also found in the main Everquest directory a file called UIErrors.txt. Mine is empty but it may be checking yours out.

Lastly might be an event viewer. Windows has an easy to to check out. Didn't I read somewhere that you're running linux? I know there's something similar for you. Heck, way back when I was running Red Hat (circa 2001 or so) it has an event/crash error log built in.

G'luck
I see a lot of this sort of thing in that file:

So would a reasonable guess be that I for some reason am missing some files (eg. spela.png), and before P99 didn't use those files (so I never used to get crashes), but recently it started doing so and now I do?

Only ... that still doesn't explain why the crashes only happen sometimes not (say) every time I loot a corpse.
