This is one strange bug...here are the steps to reproduce (at least, i can)

1) Start ScummVM 2) Add the game to the launcher 3) Start the game 4) Choose "New" 5) Let the intro roll Note that ego is sitting from the cliff 6) Wait till the game lets you take control and quit 7) Start ScummVM once again 8) In the launcher choose the game once again 9) Choose "New" once again 10) The intro rolls but there is no more ego sitting on the cliff :-o

I take a shoot in the dark and say that the assertion happens once ego is meant to be animated the first time, but i'm of course not sure :-)

Why it happens though is beyond me...maybe the game writes some variables somewhere and reads them wrong on the second start?

MSVC catches an invalid memory write when starting a new game:

scummvm.exe!SWAP
