Of course, the correct solution is to fix glob2 so it doesn't crash ...

  “You are on the edge of a breath-taking view.  Far below you is an active
  volcano, from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out, cascading
  back down into the depths.  The glowing rock fills the farthest reaches of
  the cavern with a blood-red glare, giving everything an eerie, macabre
  appearance.  The air is filled with flickering sparks of ash and a heavy
  smell of brimstone.  The walls are hot to the touch, and the thundering of
  the volcano drowns out all other sounds.  Embedded in the jagged roof far
  overhead are myriad twisted formations composed of pure white alabaster,
  which scatter the murky light into sinister apparitions upon the walls.
  To one side is a deep gorge, filled with a bizarre chaos of tortured rock
  which seems to have been crafted by the Devil himself.  An immense river
  of fire crashes out from the depths of the volcano, burns its way through
  the gorge, and plummets into a bottomless pit far off to your left.  To
  the right, an immense geyser of blistering steam erupts continuously from
  a barren island in the center of a sulfurous lake, which bubbles
  ominously.  The far right wall is aflame with an incandescence of its own,
  which lends an additional infernal splendor to the already hellish scene.
  A dark, foreboding passage exits to the south.”
