New description:

 Edit: This actually seems to be a more general regression, since the bug
 occurs when clicking on Options on the ScummVM GMM (in-game), regardless
 of the game engine.

 This happens on a local build 2.6.0git from master and on the recent daily
 on Windows 10 x64 (windows-x86-64-master-87b7ddc7).

 Original steps to reproduce (first noticed while testing Ultima 8):
 This is with Ultima 8 Gold Edition/DOS/English (GOG release).

 The bug does not happen in ScummVM 2.2.0 or in 2.5.0 stable releases. It
 seems to be a regression.

 Steps to reproduce.
 1. Launch Ultima 8
 2. Start a new game, give a name to your avatar and reach the first
 gameplay screen.
 3. Press Esc to bring up the in-game native menu.
 4. Choose "4. Options".

 Bug Result: The game either freezes or exits with a segmentation fault.
 Expected result: This options should bring up the ScummVM GMM options menu
 (this is how it works in 2.5.0 and 2.2.0).
