I can't see how playing music could affect this, as music in Sam and Max is midi. And if you mean Bumpus singing (that's the only thing about SNM in the readme), I haven't yet gotten that far. And by all means, I don't think my copy is damaged. Actually, it's one of my best kept CD's :)
Even with the latest CVS this problem persists, though a bit fewer and so that it mostly is a room that is not in room 1.
I don't know if it has anything to do with this problem, but a short while before SNM crashes, "WARNING: addMessageToStack(): string escape sequence 1 unknown" appears in output.

Sorry, I mixed things up a little... The addMessageToStack Warning came up only earlier, when 'charset not in room' and 'script not in room' occurred.
Now, as only 'room not found' seems to occur, the warning is different, as caused by my latest attempt to play:
WARNING: o6_miscOps: _saveSound=1! WARNING: SE::start_sound failed: Couldn't find sound 1! Error(25:80:0xC2): room 1 not found in room 15 at 4008053+0!
I also attached a save game, if that could be of some use. In my experience, if you exit the trailer and exit the screen between Wak-a-rat tent and the trailer, SNM often (but not always) crashes. Another frequent place is at Gator Golf, either when Mx is hit by Bumpus or when he land in the Bigfoot booth.

The warning means nothing.
And I -still- cannot reproduce this problem at all, even with your
save game. And I've spent over 8 hours testing it, without having
a -single- crash.
Sorry, it sounds like this is definatly something wrong with your copy. Try copying your datafiles off the cd to your harddrive.
Closing bug report, unreproducable.

I just played straight from the beginning to the gator golf part of Sam and Max, using the latest CVS, with no problems at all.
I'd be inclined to say this is a corrupt file, scratch on your cd, ecetra. I don't suppose your running it from the same cd that you are playing music from? If so, please see the README file for an important note.
Any further details? I cannot find anyone who can replicate this bug, it seems to be something wrong with your copy.
