Description
Hi. I just got this bug report from Francesco Poli, a user of the Debian package. The full bug log is available at <http://bugs.debian.org/323657>.
---quote--- I think I found a bug in _Beneath a steel sky_ (but it may well be ScummVM's fault, I don't know).
I managed to find a way to make sky hang up completely: the attached autosave reproduces the bug. After restoring this autosave, as soon as I click on anything in the room, I see a bunch of identical stderr messages and I'm unable to do anything else in the room. I even managed to crash scummvm, by clicking on another character in order to start a dialog, and repeatedly clicking on "never mind..." (the only possible phrase).
Here's the stderr (redirected to a file):
| WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | WARNING: Place compact's getToTable is NULL!! | Unknown script command: 24033!
Here's my .scummvmrc:
| [scummvm] | versioninfo=0.7.1 | | [sky] | subtitles=true ---quote---
I can reproduce it using his autosave file, which I'll attach here as well, on both 0.7.1 and a fresh CVS snapshot from today.

Please, test this bug with latest daily build which you can find on bottom of our downloads page at http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php.

Forgot to raise priority. If this is a real bug then it is a show stopper.

I can still reproduce it with a binary built from a CVS tree updated not ten minutes ago.

Two bytes in the savegame are corrupt, fixing it with a hexeditor makes it work perfectly again. I'm quite sure it wasn't caused by a logic bug, though. I guess it was either caused by a defective harddisk(?) or memory corruption.
The idea of a defective harddisk may sound like a quite lame excuse... but we've run BASS with valgrind several times by now, and I really don't think there's any memory corruption going on there. So, in other words, I really don't know. Sorry. :)

Ok, so we should close this bug as invalid, or at least lower the severity so it isn't considered a blocker?
I can ask Francesco if he's aware of any hardware problems on his computer, if you wish.

I think we could close it. In the meantime I lower priority and remove from the list.
