[WORKING NOW] Linux: Arch, Debian(sid)- URW 3.40

[miernota]

Hi

After today update SDL and alsa.lib from system update, URW stopped working on Arch Linux.
Error message :
"/usr/bin/urw: line 152:    9141 Segmantation fault      (core dumped)  "${URW_BIN_DIR}"/"${URW_BIN}"

Please help

[Update 1]
URW working but without audio:
file : urw_ini.txt
[AUDIO:NO]

[Update 2]
Even with [AUDIO:NO] in urw_ini.txt game still sometimes crash (which is very annoying  ).
I've been looking for a solution to this problem and the only thing I can recommend is run URW like this:
env SDL_AUDIODRIVER="blank" urw
For me game works much more stable.

[Update 3]
Now working [AUDIO:YES] without any problem.

Have the same bug, running Debian Linux (sid - unstable). Started happening only very recently, and only on my desktop since I updated it over the weekend, crashes when loading "wind". Gives the same error as OP.

My laptop running the same operating system does not crash, but after updating my packages today ... it behaves like my desktop.

Below is the list of packages that was updated just a moment ago. It can be cross-checked against the urw dependences and the bug can be tracked down quite quickly.

libsdl2-2.0-0 is a dependency, I am pretty sure - so something has changed with the code that handles audio.


Edit:
There appear to be reports of seg faults in sdl2's bugtracker in regard to audio. EG: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3848
Probably something happened between versions 2.0.5 and 2.0.6

Update: Just updated libsdl packages with new version/patch in Debian Sid.

The issue discussed is no longer happening. Game works with sound once again.
