Description
I'm getting somewhat random but frequent segmentation faults in Broken Sword 1. I attach a savegame in the Irish bar. Whenever I try to talk to the guy with glasses I get a segfault. Sometimes it's right after he says "What's the problem?", sometimes it's as soon as I press the green arrow (to quit the conversation), sometimes it's when I try to talk to him the second time.
My system: Mandrake 10.1 ScummVM 0.8.0CVS (May 1 2005 10:56:29) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 ALSA zLib MPEG2
PS This doesn't appear to be a sound issue, it happens even with sound, music and video files out of sight.

Aha! I see the problem. It's actually not a Broken Sword 1 bug at all, it's a buffer overflow in the SDL backend's "dirty rectangle" handling. The Broken Sword games are probably the ones most likely to trigger it since they tend to mark a lot of smaller rectangles as dirty, rather than a few larger ones.
Fixed in CVS.
