I was trying to investigate the problem but didn't get very far.

I tried to use the "save4.dat" but the hero doesn't appear in front of
any cave, but inside castle walls, with "screen locked", and I have to
kill monsters through walls (!?!?) so the screen unlocks and I can get
out of the castle.  Still, no caves.

I get errors like:
  ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
  ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

and sometimes the effects don't play, other times they do.

I can confirm that "minibug" crashes for me also, I am not 100% sure
if it's fault of the library or not -- probably it is.

Perhaps we should have a -dbg package for the library, but unless this
is urgent or a very important problem for the game (you said that it
had multiple bugs/crashes), I would prefer to wait until after the
release (I am a bit busy right now).


Cheers.
