In order to properly investigate this problem, could you please attach some savegames to this bug report, preferably one from before entering the tavern, and one from after browsing around for several minutes (but before the crash occurs).
It would also be helpful to provide more exact instructions as what actions you did before the crash, since it may be a major factor in causing the bug.

(supposedly) wait for 4 barman animations to see the program crash

I uploaded a save which reproduces the crash with 100% accuracy in my environment. To see the crash just wait for bartender to perform three animations. The program crashes on fourth.

The bug appeared a 100% reproducable when starting the game from scratch.
1) Launch scummvm 0.14.0svn41485 1.1) Press esc to skip intro 2) pull torch 3) wait for monster to come in 3) exit 4) close door with monster 5) lock door 6) go to right door 7) pick up knife 8) pick up bottle 9) go next door 10) use knife on leather straps 11) go back 12) look at barrel 13) use bottle on barrel tap 14) go to left door 15) give bottle to hanging man 16) ask ratpouch to push bricks and finish 17) go through hole (don't skip animation) 18) wait for ratpouch to appear and get off your way 19) navigate to blood stained bar street 20) preferably wait for old woman to come into the blood stained bar 21) enter bar 22) crash will occur really quick if you followed the instructions
I'll attach another save, which reproduces the bug after following above instructions.
P.S.: reminder - it's vista business 64, who knows if that's the case.

This bug is nice to get fixed before the release. Raising priority for keeping the track.

I've identified the problem.. an adjustment made to the Y position when a walking starts (y & 0xfff8) was placing the character (in this case Ratpouch) further into the exit area than he should ever be. Thus, when it added an extra action to have Ratpouch move to a random position in the current room (the idea being to give the blocking character time to move), it immediately detected it was still in the exit area, so started adding further 'set random dest' action entries until his schedule was full.

ScummVM version: 0.14.0svn41485
Bug details: same bug appears in this version too when you just interfere with NPCs too much on (supposedly) any screen where you can meet NPCs. A crash occured when meeting a monk on screen with a sheep and a well.
