Bug#418413: supertuxkart: Fails to start completely, telling memory access error

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi Marco, and thanks for your bugreport.

Marco Schuster <cdl-klever at gmx.net> (09/04/2007):

You could use strace (from the package of the same name) to try and get
some information about the cause of this error. To use it:
$ strace supertuxkart 2> /tmp/supertuxkart.log

Please beware, an strace log can grow up quickly (e.g. several megabytes
until a crash is quite usual).

> Speicherzugriffsfehler is German for memory access error.

Thanks for the translation. Just in case you come across a similar
situation in the future, remember you can just use the following:
$ LANG=C supertuxkart

to get your program running under a "C" locale. I'm just wondering
whether that could be translated to "segmentation fault", which is also
named "segmentation violation", aka SEGV.

Cheers,
