Description
With latest SVN (r34611) on an SGI Octane with IRIX 6.5.27 (64-bit, big endian, requires alignment), attempting to start any game from the launcher gives a segfault.
The cause of this seems to happen when a "large" String (exceeding the default capacity - in this case the path of the game) gets pushed in via addDefaultDirectoryRecursive.
The String class will then allocate memory on the heap, but it appears this memory isn't properly aligned. (just a guess, I haven't checked the values, I can do that shortly).
backtrace:

Just had the same problem with the latest SVN. Apparently gcc 3.4.x generates wrong code for non-pod data structure copy (it seems to create a temporary structure and then memcpy it ; which just messes the String object since _storage points then to a non-existent object).
Adding explicit constructor workarounds the issue...

Apparently, the same problem occurs on win32 too, see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2106292&group_id=37116&atid=418820
So perhaps it's not an alignment issue, but a gcc <= 3.4.2 one (I'm using 3.4.0).
