Looks like there's some problem with midi. I suspect installing timidity and running it as a server (it's daemonizable) could solve the problem.

Maybe trying "liquidwar -nomusic" could help, not trying to open midi devices might cause other digi driver to work anyway. Untested.

Wow, quite an old bug. Will try it again as soon as possible.
