The problem seems to be that something is setting the Description Id of the prisoner (hotspot 412h) from the default 218 to an invalid value of 299. I've tested that saving and restoring doesn't corrupt the description, so it must be one of the actions you're doing prior to it. I've tried to go through all the standard steps up until that point, but haven't had any luck - I'd appreciate it if you can assist somewhat in tracking down exactly where the problem occurs.
What you can do is press Control-D to bring up the debug console and then type 'hotspot 412h'. This will give you the details of the prisoner. By default, it will have a descs = (218,0). You can then press Escape to return to the game. If you could keep re-entering the console and repeating that command (you can use the Up arrow to quickly bring back the last entered command), and see if you can determine exactly when the descs changes.
Another thing that would be useful is if you could run the game with the line: scummvm --debuglevel=3 --debugflags=animations,scripts,hotspots,strings lure > debug.txt
And play the game from the start to when the error occurs? If you could zip that up and upload it, it may also help me determine why the problem is occurring.

I have found another way to find this crash: 1) Excape from my room and lock here the skorl 2) Take the knife on the barrel 3) Look at prisioner of the left wall and find a bug on it 4) Use the knife with bag 5) After it i try again to watch (press left button of mouse on it) the prisioner I will back to my Desktop of XP SP2. I have Saved the Debug file :) File Added: debug.zip

Thanks, I was able to identify the problem - it was a bug with the original game that the look description was unterminated. The Lure engine now joins the ranks of game engines that can claim to work around bugs in the original game. :)
Ops... the savegame :) File Added: lure.003
