This situation occurs when someone exits from empire abnormally,
such as in a system crash or a dropped line that doesn't hang up
properly.

This situation *can* be fixed by Diety, but not with the "visifix"
program.  The nation database keeps a field called "pid" which is
the current empire process number, and if this is non-zero, attempting
to start the game produces the "schizo" message.  Only the regular
"empfix" program knows about this field.  Visifix does not, at least
in the version I have (circa March 1985).
