Game crash when a player dies

[Andrea Agnolin]

When a nibble player dies (both AI and human) the game crashes with this message:

ERROR:linkedlist.c:1169:gee_linked_list_real_get: assertion failed: (index < this._size)
Bail out! ERROR:linkedlist.c:1169:gee_linked_list_real_get: assertion failed: (index < this._size)
Annullato (core dump creato)

Step to reproduce:
Start the game and die by losing all your life.

Using my Lubuntu hirsute system, I installed gnome-nibbles & played a bit... On working out what was going on, I killed my character and crash

guiverc@d960-ubu2:/de2900/lubuntu_64$ gnome-nibbles

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Looks like this is fixed in v3.38.2: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-nibbles/-/issues/51

I re-tested this on my Lubuntu HIRSUTE system; started game, and killed my game-character a few times with only the 'crash' sound effect occurring (as each life was lost). No game crashes :)
