Bug#715654: [Mayhem] Bug report on atanks: atanks crashes with exit status 139

[Jesse Smith]

I'm not 100% sure, but I've seen this bug reported by other
users/distributions and I have found that removing the compiler
optimizations for GCC corrects the error in most cases. That, or
switching to the Clang compiler works too.

To remove optimizations, go into the Atanks src/ directory and edit the
Makefile (src/Makefile) so that line 11 reads

FLAGS += -DDATA_DIR=\"${INSTALLDIR}\" -DNEW_GAMELOOP -Wno-write-strings
-DNETWORK -DTHREADS -pthread

That usually works around the problem.
