[quake2] Icculus Q2 (Gentoo build), mods won't work

[Lee Webb]

Hi All,

Found the problem.
Built the icculus source with SDL and ran the SDL quake with no problems
whatsoever.

Without SDL quake2 segfaults whenever a keypress is found, if you don't
touch the keyboard or only move the mouse everything is fine. As soon as
you press a button, bam SIGSEGV.

Running the SDL version has no problems.

This leads me to believe that the stock q2 binary (or the libraries that
it uses) is somehow not threadsafe (a coder a work reckons this anyways)

Any ideas?
