MI2: random crashes in Part 4

Description
I have been using ScummVM Quick and Easy and the
application compiles a build each time I play. I made
sure to compile the most recent version before I played.
When I checked the file version of the executable file, it
said Version 7.
I cannot reproduce the bug identically. During Part 4,
where Lechuck is chasing Guybrush with the voodoo doll
as Guybrush tries to collect items and get away from
LeChuck, the game randomly crashes when I try to
attempt an action. The action is not necessarily the
same each time. For instance, it will crash when I try to
pick up one object, but if I restart the game and retry,
it will be able to pick up the object that caused the
crash in the first place but crash when I try for a
different object. The amount of playtime between
crashes is not consistent. That is, it might play for
longer than the last time it crashed, but it happens
eventually.
The game is in English, originally from a CD called
Monkey Island Madness from the LucasArts Archives
Volume 3.
I am on a PC with XP.
Attached is a screenshot of what happens when the
game crashes. It looks like a debug box appears with
some information in it.
Thanks in advance.

I wonder if this could be related to fingolfin's recent
object-naming changes. I don't know exactly what those
changes were, but I didn't see anything like this when I
played through MI2 with a pre-0.6.0 snapshot.

<shrug>. Maybe. Impossible for me to exclude the possibility.
Not going to do anything abouit it, though, as long as I get no savegame.

I couldn't reproduce the bug when playing through part four
with the CVS version. Of course, that could be because all
my savegames - I started with one just before part 4 - were
made with a 0.6.0 branch snapshot...

As I stated before, it's impossible to do anything sensible about this
report w/o any savegame from the bug submitter.

Oh no! I'm sorry but I deleted it. Guess this will be one of
those unsolvable ones until someone else encounters it and is
not dumb enough to delete the savegame files.

Ah well, closing this then. If you ever run into this again, feel free to
reopen it or file a new bug report.

Related to this:
PART4: When opening the root beer box the following message
appears
"ERROR 90:830:0X818B New name of 830 overflows name table
(50 = max)".

I have almost the same error. The game crashes at random
points during part 4. The errors are different depending on
the point where the game crashes.
I have seen these to:
"ERROR (90:834:0X7BDB): New name of 834 overflows name
table
(50 = max)".
"ERROR (91:858:0X6CDA): New name of 885 overflows name
table
(50 = max)".

834 and 885 are the internal id numbers of the objects that
get their names changed.
ScummVM has to keep track of which objects have had their
names changed, and for Monkey Island 2 it can handle up to
50 different objects. The error message reflects which
object it was that caused the table to overflow.
Could it really be that MI2 changes the name of more than 50
objects? As has been pointed out, a savegame might be useful
here...

Folks, this is a *closed* bug report. Please don't post unrelated stuff on
it. If you have a problem, file another new bug report, please.
comment:16 Changed 15 years ago by
It was I who referred to this bug report, since michel75
reported the exact same error message as in the original
screenshot. And you did say "If you ever run into this
again, feel free to reopen it or file a new bug report."
I just wish he would have done as I asked and attached a
savegame instead of just another comment. :-)

to it. Thanx.
