Description
It seems to me that with the latest CVS snapshot, MI2 (english PC version) is a lot less stable than it used to be. Perhaps other games as well, but this is the one I've tried.
I haven't found any exactly repeatable way of triggering crashes. Once it crashed right after examining an object, but the only crash I've caught in a debugger happened when leaving a room. In that case, it crashed on a free() and the backtrace looked like this:

I'll see if I can repeat it at home, where I have better tools to study it.

As we discussed on another bug report of yours, this may have been caused by the bug in akos.cpp/costume.cpp with regards to negative actor coordinates. Do you still get any troubles?
It might be a good idea if somebody run ScummVM + MI2 through Valgrind anyway...

As I wrote when I closed this bug report, I couldn't get ScummVM to crash with today's snapshot.

I couldn't reproduce the crash today, so for now I'm going to assume that it was fixed along with bug #929724. I haven't checked exactly what the fix did, but the impression I got was that graphics weren't clipped properly at the top of the screen. It seems reasonable to me to assume that this may have caused memory corruption.
