Comment 5 for bug 269155

I see this too in Jaunty:

pathological:
  Installed: 1.1.3-8ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.1.3-8ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.3-8ubuntu2 0
        500 http://proxy jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

As mentioned above, turning off music and sound effects stops the crash.

Running under gdb, I end up with this:

(gdb) bt

#11 0xb7f7c49e in clone () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

So it definitely looks to be sound related.

I notice that a couple of other SDL games (supertux2 - binary) and frozen-bubble (perl) work fine... so I wonder if there's a problem with python-pygame? Or perhaps it is specific to pathological?
