Does ScummVM report any error, when it crashes?

We often get reports of sound related errors, due to corrupt speech files.

I send you the traceback error of the system (is the txt file), the ScummVM only closes, if it does any error i can't see it. If you know how to enter in a debug level (or make a log with ScummVM), I'll do it.

Raising priority. This is a release-critical bug

Judging by attached crashed output, the crash occurs in stretch200To240(), so when scaling the screen. So doesn't sound like it is related to the game engine, unless crash position isn't accurate.

Another person (SimSaw) reported no problems in the Spanish version, when running under Windows too.

fingolfin: Any ideas on this issue, since it appears to be Macintosh specific?

Hmm, somehow I never noticed this item got assigned to me :-/.

I don't have the spanish version of Simon, so I can't directly test this. Furthermore, the statck trace apparently was made with a release build, so it is of very limited use. Perhaps Oscar Garcia / lemming_moire could perform another test run with a debug build (which we could provide, of course) ?

Anyway, the bits that I can decipher of the stacktrace look rather peculiar. If claims to have crashed in stretch200To240 while inside the CoreAudio code -- that would mean it crashed in the mixer. This *could* be possible, assuming AGOS uses a custom AudioStream subclass which in turn causes an immediate draw. If that crashes, it wouldn't surprise me, because only the main thread is supposed to draw into a Cocoa window. E.g. don't call updateScreen from inside an AudioStream. If that's not the case, well, then the stacktrace simply is rubbish :)

The error are by corrupt speech files, I change the speech files for other in MP3 format and go fine.
