[Scummvm-devel] Re: MI2 / IJ4 memory trash

[J.Brown (Ender/Amigo)]

Further info:

 The particualy crash is on a call to READ_LE_UINT16. And I can't
replicate it again... I had this crash once, but attempting to cause a
second crash so I can debug the problem with GDB seems impossible.

So while I did get a random crash once (Which is BAD to begin with!), I
can't seem to replicate it.

Max, can you take a look and see if (for some reason) it occurs more
frequently on ALL Big Endian machines?

This kind of thing is CERTAINLY release-critical :)
