Description
ScummVM version - 2.8.0 (Dec 17 2023 13:36:20)
In the game when completing the Doc Pullam "quest". When the game goes to the non-interactive end sequence for the quest when Larry crashes into the wall and right after the sound is played and dialog is displayed the game freezes and crashes with the following error:
ERROR: [lsl5-1.000 920/999 Obj::isKindOf @ 018c]: [VM] Stack index 4096 out of valid range [0..4095]!
I have loaded an earlier save game and went through the game to the same point and had the same crash. It also happens when loading the save game on a different system.
Language: English
Version of game: DOS - from GOG
OS: macOS Sonoma 14.2 (also occurs in Windows 11 x64)

Ooof, this was a regression I introduced in March.
Thanks again for reporting this! The fix will appear in our next daily build: https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily
This is a pretty bad bug on my part, so if you don't want to use daily builds for some reason, let me know and I'll make something that works around this.

I'm fine with installing the daily build to fix this. Thank you for looking into this so quickly.

On the plus side, we have a data point: LSL5 isn't as popular as I thought! I'm really surprised it took so long to hear about this. When a game breaks like this, people notice!
We had one vague report of crashes last year but no steps to reproduce, or screenshots, or save games, and no response to requests for more information, so I had to close it. It was likely this bug, but who knows. Thank you for providing everything I needed to reproduce!
Hello and Happy New Year! Thank you for reporting this, it looks quite serious.
This can be reproduced from scratch by starting a new game and using the debugger to go to room 920. As you said, infinite recursion occurs during the non-interactive scene. I've tried several game versions and they all crash. That's bad!
