Description (last modified by eriktorbjorn)

Latest ScummVM snapshot
English "SierraClassics" release of the game

There are at least two ways the microscope puzzle in Island of Dr. Brain can crash when asking for a hint, though I've only been able to reproduce one of them.

I'm attaching two savegames. One before even starting the microscope puzzle (since the puzzle you get is random), and one where opening the puzzle and pressing the hint button will always crash with the following message:

ERROR: Uninitialized read for temp 0 from method cartesian::buyClue (room 160, script 165, localCall ffffffff)!

The other hint button crash had this message, but I haven't been able to reproduce it:

ERROR: Invalid arithmetic operation (division - params: 0000:fffd and 0000:0000) from method carthesian::buyClue (room 160, script 165, localCall ffffffff)!

For the second one, I was playing on my phone so that was using ScummVM 2.7.

Annoyingly, since I filed this bug report I have not been able to come up with any new test cases, so this bug seems to be a slippery thing.
