Comment:

 I went ahead and bought the Steam release, and was able to replicate the
 problem using their executable. After some experimentation, I think it may
 be a random crash due to uninitialized memory in the image/video decoders,
 which have already been fixed. Doing some memory tracing under Linux, I
 confirmed that the 2.0.0 release that Steam uses has a lot of them, but
 they're all gone due to the recent work done to resolve them. Which I'm
 hopeful will solve the problem on Windows. Though unfortunately I can't
 tell for sure.. even rolling back to compile 2.0.0, I still couldn't
 replicate a crash with the executable I compiled myself, so it does raise
 the likelihood that the error has been resolved.

 Anyway, I'm going to mark this as resolved for ScummVM; if anyone can
 replicate the problem with the latest codebase, we can always reopen it
 later. As far as the executable compiled for Steam goes, I was able to
 prevent the crash by saying "floor 24" instead of just "24". Or, of
 course, you can use the icons in the PET Remote Thingummy tab.
