boswars crashed with SIGSEGV

[Sune Keller]

Binary package hint: boswars

I don't know if this debug text was printed upon crash or earlier, but here it is:
"FIXME: storing destroyed Goal - loading will fail
Looping !
Looping !

"

The game window of course disappeared when the game crashed.

I could only send a SIGINT to interrupt the program, which was still running, after which I got this segmentation fault.

StacktraceTop:SaveUnit ()

[Kalle Olavi Niemitalo (kon)]

The crash was caused by a null pointer dereference. The disassembly shows a loop that follows a linked list and increments a counter. The SaveUnit function in boswars-2.5 has two loops like that; both deal with CConstructionFrame::Next.

Upstream commit r9536 (in boswars-2.5) or r9538 (in trunk) may fix this crash.

Mine is basically the same. Saved game more than once. Exited Bos Wars. Came back later the tried to load the saved game.
