Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 It seems it is a game bug.
 http://www.oocities.org/timessquare/arcade/7435/QFG2/qfg2_FAQ.htm

 "At night, after defeating and looting a pack of jackalmen, sometimes the
 game crashes with a "Oops. You've done something we didn't expect you to
 do!" error. What did I do?"

 "This is a known bug that happens occassionally when encountering
 jackalmen."
 "Make sure you save when you first encounter a pack in the desert, and
 then engage them in combat."
 "Try to leave the screen afterwards, and if the game crashes, simply
 restore and run awy from the encounter."
 "You'll still be able to fight jackalmen most of the time, as the crash
 only happens intermittently."

 I doubt it's some memory leak. It may be a script bug, possibly
 overwriting some memory and/or creating an inconsistent state.
