Description Guido Flohr 2010-11-16 16:07:13 UTC

See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?29880.  My suggested fix/patch is added as an attachment to comment #5.

You can only reproduce the bug when you build the package without threading support (the default setting).

I suggest setting the severity to critical.  Rollouts are a central feature of backgammon programs.  The segfaults make them completely unusable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Make sure that you compile without threads.

1. Click "New Game"
2. Wait until it's your turn.
3. Menubar->Analyse->Rollout, click Okay.
4. Interrupt the rollout by clicking Stop.
