#525 closed defect (worksforme)
DIG: Crash during conversation
| Reported by: | SF/xplo | Owned by: | SF/ender |

| Priority: | high | Component: | Engine: SCUMM |

| Cc: | Game: | The Dig |
Description
When Maggie talks with the white dragon-like alien. A few specific topic make scummvm crash completely. Also during this dialogue nearly all of the aliens speech is cut half way thru. It seems as if the game isn't waiting for it to finish properly and proceeding to the next line.
Attached is a german savegame made during the conversation. To trigger the crashes talk about the "ghost" or the "lightbridge" topics.

Hmm, must have been stoned when I submitted these halfassed bugreports sorry.
OS: WinXP (compiled with VS.NET), Version: was the CVS shortly before the report was created. With the CVS pulled a few minutes ago (see the comment date) the error somewhat changed: 1. There is a few kernel(215) messages appearing on the status console. 2. The said chat-topics don't seem to crash anymore. 3. Long monologues from the alien are still cut off. 4. Scummvm.exe now crashes when leaving the room the conversation took place.
The attached german save was "replayed" from a bit earlier, because Ender mentioned it could be memory corruption. So I loaded a save from 30 mins earlier, and played up to the trouble causing scene again.

It still seems likely to me that the problem was caused by memory
corruption, expecially if the crash now occurs in a DIFFERENT
place.
The long monologues being cut off, is unrelated and caused by a different issue.
The kernel() messages are completely unimportant, I think I've left a debug printf() in by accident.

Well the only way to find out would be to get somebody to play to that point using current CVS from scratch, right?

Right.
I'm going to close this bug as worksforme - it's more likely this bug was caused by one of the various memory corruption bugs corrupting the save game... if someone can reproduce this, please feel free to reopen a bug report.
Can you please attach a saved game at or near this point, per the bug reporting guidelines?
