When compiled on amd64 with the -fstack-protector flag, wesnoth crashes at the end of a scenario with a stack smashing attack message on the terminal (I forgot to copy down the exact message, but it occurs in the function "LEVEL_RESULT play_level(game_data&, config&, config*, CVideo&, game_state&, std::vector<config*>&)"). The problem /doesn't/ occur in a 32bit chroot on the same machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On an amd64 system: CFLAGS="-fstack-protector ..." emerge wesnoth 2. Run "wesnoth", choose the "Tutorial" menu item and play through the first scenario. 3. Actual Results: Games crashes with "stack smashing" message. Expected Results: Continue to the next scenario in the tutorial.

filtered.
umm, chances are the game is broken so filtering stack-protector is a dumb idea ...
Not filtered in 0.9.5 on x86 and gives the same problem.
linked to the upstream bug.
Ok, I confirmed the issue on x86 and talked at length with upstream about this. Their take on it is that it is purely a gcc-3 issue and that there is actually no stack problems. They say that gcc-4 doesn't have a problem with the code. I've filtered out the flag for gcc-3 in CVS. resync/remerge to get it if you have -fstack-protector in your CXXFLAGS. No rev bump to save a compile for all the rest of the people out there without that flag enabled. Thanks for the bug report. (and thanks to the upstream devs for their patience)
