Comment (by antoniou79):

 Replying to [comment:1 AndywinXp]:
 > Does this happen when running the game with the original exe on e.g.
 DosBox?
 I just checked with a quick DosBox setup (borrowed from GOG's installation
 of LBA) and while I don't have any sound (probably due to me not fiddling
 with DOSBOX configuration for sound), the crash does not happen.

 The game takes a second, but then just ignores the command and reverts to
 "Walk to" in the verb line. So: "GIVE pot to breath mint" results in being
 ignored and "Walk to breath mint" is shown in the verb line at the end. No
 line from Guybrush. "GIVE breath mint to pot" is similarly ignored in
 DOSBOX ("Walk to pot" is shown at the verb line in the end).

 I don't know if it's important but both "Give pot to hunk o' meat" and
 "Give hunk o' meat to pot" will also produce a line from Guybrush "That
 does not seem to work" (this happens both in DOSBOX and ScummVM). This
 line does not play for the problematic pot and breath mint command
 combination.

 Also note, ScummVM crashes whether the command is "Give pot to breath
 mint" or "Give breath mint to pot".
