Comment:

 Phew, I was wrong. Plain ./configure && make && make dist-generic creates
 a relative "data" folder but doesn't lead to the crash anymore.

 However: when *not* specifying --datadir="data", the theme is not loaded /
 found automatically in the "dist-generic" layout (I need to go to the
 Paths tab and set the absolute path manually). When I do specify it, it is
 loaded / found automatically.

 I think this justifies reopening this ticket because it is directly
 related to the --datadir switch (although the fix would be in a different
 area, ScummVM should perhaps know that "data" is the default *relative*
 path for loading themes unless overriden with a *absolute* path via
 --datadir).
