I can't crash the win32 client on my machine, and so if you can consistently make the client crash, I'd like you to get some drmingw debug output for me.
1. Grab this version of freeciv which I've compiled myself with full debug symbols:
[url=ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/freeciv-debugsymbols-20040810.zip]ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/freeciv-debugsymbols-20040810.zip[/url]
(I sure hope I included all the required dlls. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] )
2. Grab mingw-utils from [url=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721&release_id=158859]http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82721&release_id=158859[/url] and install drmingw by typing "drmingw -i" from the command line.
3. Run the full debug symbols version of freeciv until it crashes and runs drmingw.
4. Copy the resulting drmingw input and either post it here or send it to me.
