[Scummvm-devel] Weird crash (Mac OS X only? big endian only?)

Is "strip" a MacOS tool? I've never "stripped" a Windows executable, though
I used to use a "packing" utility that would cut down the size of a
release-build executable substantially.

One off-the-wall hypothesis -- on the Windows build, at least, the stack,
code and data are all in the same segment. I suppose if the segment were too
small, the stack could be overflowing into data or even code.

I myself experienced CoMI crashes in two locations. The first was while
falling down the sheer cliff face -- more than half the time, the program
would crash while I was trying to pull up the inventory or use the [spoiler
deleted] from within. The other crash point is in the ice chamber of the
roller coaster ride. So far every time I've tried to open my inventory in
that screen, the program has crashed.
