It seems that the problem is related to a missing file "/var/games/crossfire/accounts".

Here is the output of strace when running crossfire-server

munmap(0xb785a000, 4096) = 0
open("/var/games/crossfire/accounts", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
time(NULL) = 1319286235
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2652, ...}) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

Segmentation fault

Just touching the file solves the problem. I think that the creation of that file should be included in the installation process.

This patch fixes a missing argument during the invocation of a log function when the account file is missing.
It should finally solve the problem
