Segfaults? I noticed these only if I try to change to fullscreen mode as
640x480 is not a valid mode for my graphic card. The crash happens
somewhere in SDL code, need to file a bug ...

No it isn't supported, but DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS :-) Please try to send me a
backtrace or describe how to reproduce.

It was indeed simple. Strange that I haven't seen this last week.
Your savegame is still valid, only a read operation was affected.

No, the save game is not affected. It works well on little endian
systems. The problem was reading the level file and recoding data.

Not sure whether vim will do so but a hex editor will help ...

The author provides also some hints on his homepage. Will ask him
whether it could be distributed with Debian.
