Bug#849696: libogre-1.9.0v5: Ogre games abort on startup with “basic_string::_M_construct null not valid”

[Thibaut Girka]

Package: libogre-1.9.0v5
Version: 1.9.0+dfsg1-7+b2
Severity: important

Any Ogre game/application (for instance, funguloids, available in Debian)
crashes with the following output:

  Creating resource group General
  Creating resource group Internal
  Creating resource group Autodetect
  SceneManagerFactory for type 'DefaultSceneManager' registered.
  Registering ResourceManager for type Material
  Registering ResourceManager for type Mesh
  Registering ResourceManager for type Skeleton
  MovableObjectFactory for type 'ParticleSystem' registered.
  ArchiveFactory for archive type FileSystem registered.
  ArchiveFactory for archive type Zip registered.
  ArchiveFactory for archive type EmbeddedZip registered.
  DDS codec registering
  FreeImage version: 3.17.0
  This program uses FreeImage, a free, open source image library supporting all common bitmap formats. See http://freeimage.sourceforge.net for details
  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
    what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
  Abandon

This started happening since upgrading libfreeimage3, so this might be a bug in
it rather than in Ogre itself, but I haven't investigated any further yet.
