Description
As of scummvm-0.9.0-s60-v3-scumm.sis, the ScummVM build for Symbian Series 60 3rd edition seems to crash often.
One situation where a crash occurs: In game
Atlantis (German/DOS/Floppy)
when entering the lower level of the submarine, the screen should scroll vertically down to the lower level. Instead ScummVM quits.
The same situation acts without problems on the latest SVN build (before 0.9.0 release):
scummvm-060611-SymbianS60v3_scumm.sis
The crash/exit occurs in any zoom/graphics mode that can be set.
Note about possible savegame incompatibility: With the new version (0.9.0) a savegame was loaded from the 060611 build and continued, but the game continued for a while before the crash. The savegame attached is created with the current 0.9.0 release version.

The problem would be due to grabRawScreen() not been supported on the Symbian port, which is required by the scrollEffects of the SCUMM engine now.

There seems to be a fix/workaround for vertical scrolling in current svn build (06-09-17).

Well, in the 0.9.1 release build, this bug reappeared again and can be reproduced with the attached savegame.
Maybe it is a memory problem and the solution could be to have several smaller builds as on the cvsbuilds page.
The bug has not only been observed in Indy 4, but all games which use vertical scrolling, i.e. indy4, mi2, mi.

This bug is likely caused by grabRawScreen() not being implemented properly. See bugs #1513002, #1531983, #1581342, #1594636. We should first establish that this is indeed the cause; then make sure it is fixed in the SVN trunk. In addition, porters might want to make a 0.9.1a release with this issue fixed.

It was mentioned on devel mailing list in the past, that the Symbian ports use the SDL backend's version of the grabRawScreen() function. And stated below that a build between 0.9.x releases didn't have this issue, so I would suspect more of low memory issue.
Do the Symbian ports attempt to detect when it is out of memory and report error?

Goetz, please, never play with priority settings unless you are going to fix the bug by yourself

Some more similar crashes from tracker item #1531983 (which contains another savegame, too):
FOA - ballon goes off screen and there is a rapid scoll to the next part of the map.
DOTT - Laverne wants the human contest to be judged and approaches the judges, screen scrolls right.
DOTT - Hoagie washes the wagon, Storm begins and Franklin appears (I cannot remember a particular scrolling event for this one)
DOTT - Laverne says to Purple Tentacle, "you and what Army"; Purple says this Army and the screen scrolls to the right to display the army of purple tentacles.

Two more crash locations, from bug #1581342:
MI2: In the Booty island, at the reef, when we want to see under the reef, the program crashes because it's not able to scroll the screen
FOA: In Algeri, in the desert scene when you ride a camel, when you try to go in the next screens where you should find the camel-riding guards, the program crashes for the same reason.

I'm confident, that the bug won't be present in the upcoming release.
The svn builds scummvm-070522-SymbianS60v3_all.sis (current) and the previous two (scummvm-070314-SymbianS60v3_all.sis, scummvm-070322-SymbianS60v3_all.sis) did NOT crash in the sitations mentioned. It's the first thing I check when new svn builds are released, at least one situation in each game. :)
However, there is no guarantee, that it will work in the release version, as the 06-09-17 build worked, and in the later release 0.9.1 the bug reappeared. :)

I'm setting this to fixed and keeping my thumbs in check. :-) I have updating memorylimits, stacksize etc, and all this might affect the outcome of this bug.
