True. I made this backtrace by just restarting the mission. When I
*really* cancel it (back to the deck), FS2 won't hang. Dying and
restarting hangs too. I'll replay that mission and see if it still
happens with the talking head off and if so, get a new core dump of that
one.

But still, restarting the mission should work, too. Examining the loop a
bit further:

In freespace.cpp:game_level_init()
    obj_init();                  // Must be inited before the other systems
>>  model_free_all();            // Free all existing models
    mission_brief_common_init(); // Free all existing

In modelread.cpp:model_free_all()
    for (i=0;i<MAX_POLYGON_MODELS;i++) {
>>      model_unload(i);
    }
The value of i is 0 at this moment.

In modelread.cpp:model_unload(int)
    if (pm->submodel)       {
        for (i=0; i<pm->n_models; i++ ) {
            if ( pm->submodel[i].bsp_data ) {
>>              free(pm->submodel[i].bsp_data);
            }
        }
        free(pm->submodel);
    }
Again, the value of i is 0. pm->filename is "cruiser03.pof".

vm_free() just calls free() and from then on we're in glibc. The strange
thing about this is: It's actually looping in mallopt() in glibc, I
checked this with the debugger. My RAM is OK, I tested it with
memtest86.

This doesn't compile:

Well, I could play 10 missions without any problems and there's no such
statement on the web site ...

Yep. It would be a pity losing the movies, however (especially because
I'm playing FS1 for the first time and don't know the story yet), but I
can live with that considering the better graphics. :) There are two
reasons why I reverted to the Linux port of FS2 instead of using
FS2_Open: The movies and broken audio in the german command briefings of
the FS2 campaign. But I checked, FSPort seams to work fine with
FS2_Open, but I couldn't check the mission in question. I'll also see
whether I can get english data files of FS2, I've bought all the CDs, so
I have no problem with using an "illegal" english copy. ;)

Can I convert the pilot or do I have to start over?


cu & thanks,
