Description
English CD version
At the beginning of the game, I went to the bridge and spoke to Miranda (or Seeker). Miranda gave me an infodump of what happened since the end of the previous game. But when I tried to speak to her again, the game crashed. Valgrind gave the following error:
==12258== Invalid read of size 4 ==12258== at 0x907D1E1: TsAGE::ConversationChoiceDialog::execute(Common::Array const&) (converse.cpp:451) ==12258== by 0x907EF9A: TsAGE::StripManager::signal() (converse.cpp:926) ==12258== by 0x8E6DFB4: TsAGE::Action::attached(TsAGE::EventHandler, TsAGE::EventHandler, char) (core.cpp:239) ==12258== by 0x8E6DC72: TsAGE::EventHandler::setAction(TsAGE::Action, TsAGE::EventHandler, ...)

Since line 451 of converse.cpp is just a call to draw(), perhaps it's the ConversationChoiceDialog object itself that hasn't been allocated? Somehow.

Turns out it was the result of a mis-cast commonly done in many of the scene specific speaker classes

I was able to return to the bridge to talk to Miranda later, but some - not all - conversation options would still cause crashes. (In my original bug report, I wouldn't even get a conversation menu.)
