I object 
It's not like the debug tool provides any useful information.

Anyway, for 'The Scourger' I tracked down the problem. The problem is this command in START1.c:

add_item("item-flash",438,11);

As you can see it adds an item with the name item-flash. This name is 10 characters which causes Freedink to crash, renaming this item to item-flsh (9 characters) solves the problem. (I know I shouldn't use filenames over 9 characters, but it works in Windows... )

I will rename my item files for the next release of this DMOD to comply with the 8 character standard, but this also seems to be a bug that should be fixed...

I'm waiting to see if you guys find something similar for other DMODs as well.
