#16318: ScummVM 2.9.1 crashing on Samsung TV when trying to load default
configuration

 I am trying to get the Samsung TV port to run. Even though there are no
 binaries for it, it is still part of the build system. I have a 2014
 series TV (instead of 2009) however, so I needed to modify configure
 slightly but then it compiles without any other changes (GCC 4.7.4):

 {{{

 I ran configure as follows:
 {{{
 ./configure --host=samsungtv --prefix=/home/julius/samsung/toolchain/arm-

 }}}

 Followed by {{{make}}} to get: {{{scummvm.so}}}

 When I run it on my TV, it gets quite far, but crashes when loading the
 default configuration. I got this stacktrace from gdb:

 It seems that the reference counter for the relevant string somehow is not
 initialized. Other strings seem to have no issues though.

 What might be a good idea to figure this out? I understand this might be
 unexplored territory, but if anybody could give me some pointers on how to
 debug this further, I'd already appreciate that a lot and I'll try to do
 that's needed to make it work. Many thanks in advance!!
