Re: [glob2-devel] my final release candidate testing feedback

It took a little longer to crash on Linux, but eventually it did. I got this bt.

(gdb) run

It doesn't price any files or line numbers though (like it does sometimes), so I dont know how helpful this will be. And there doesn't seem to be a pattern, it crashes randomly. I also dont know when it started, because while I've been doing the tutorial, I haven't actually played a game in a while.

You should be able to replicate this bug by making playground, 7 castor, add a 9th player (red, nicowar (to assist you)), then just let it run forever quickly (minimize all windows, check back once every minute or so).

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful (unless someone gives me a gdb command to run after "bt")

On top of all that, my game of Globulation just crashed on Windows without warning, and gdb isn't the best on this system. I'll see if I can duplicate it on Linux. In the mean time, it looks like only a few things are left to fix/test.
