Bug Description

gl-117 (1.3.2-2.1ubuntu1, under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) crashes with a floating point exception under some scenarios.

According to gdb, the error occurs:
#0 0x000000000041189b in game_timer (dt=0) at main.cpp:3662

Obviously, the FPE happens because in line 3662 the expression (2000/dt) fails when dt is zero. The attached patch prevents game_timer being called with a zero argument, yet I'm not sure whether this is the "right" way to fix things.
