    initial v1  
    1 I went ahead and bought the Steam release, and was able to replicate the problem using their executable. After some experimentation, I think it may be a random crash due to uninitialized memory in the image/video decoders, which have already been fixed. Doing some memory tracing under Linux, I confirmed that the 2.0.0 release that Steam uses has a lot of them, but they're all gone due to the recent work done to resolve them. Which I'm hopeful will solve the problem on Windows. Though unfortunately I can't tell for sure.. even rolling back to compile 2.0.0, I still couldn't replicate a crash with the executable I compiled myself, so it does raise the likelihood that the error has been resolved.

    33Anyway, I'm going to mark this as resolved for ScummVM; if anyone can replicate the problem with the latest codebase, we can always reopen it later. As far as the executable compiled for Steam goes, I was able to prevent the crash by saying "floor 24" instead of just "24". Or, of course, you can use the icons in the PET Remote Thingummy tab.
