ULTIMA8: Game crash after talking to a guard

[aybe]

So I was talking with the first guard you see with the beheading stuff, giving some stupid answers to anger him, right after the last dialog with him, the game crashed:

Faulting application name: scummvm.exe, version: 2.6.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

Not sure but I've attached the whole scummvm folder as well as the crash dump, hopefully that'll help you out.

Okay, here's the 66Mb crash dump in onedrive instead as max upload size is 2Mb:

Quick triage note - I gave it a quick run and confirmed that it doesn't happen *every* time at least - I was able to complete this conversation no problem. Need to investigate and try to understand why it crashed.

After a bit more playing I was able to reproduce the crash - it happens if autosave is triggered during this conversation, and the fix was pretty easy. I've pushed ​a change that should fix it and ported to the stable branch so it will be in the next stable release.
