Bug 93601 – Game segfaults after completing a level because of write properties.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stewart Martin 2005-05-22 12:38:19 UTC]

When I run the game as a non-root user, and play a campaign game, the game seg
faults after completing a level.  When playing as root this doesn't happen. 
After completing a level of a campaign, a file is created or altered called
"outpool00.txt" in the games installation directory, and there may be other
"outpoolxx.txt" files, but completing a level takes a long time so I haven't
tested it.  Running as a user without write privileges to the installation
directory, therefore causes the game to seg fault when it cannot create the file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start a campaign game as a user without write privileges to the directory
where the game was installed
2.  Complete a level of the campaign


Actual Results:  
Seg Fault

Expected Results:  
Not seg fault

reopen with the name of the game.  Always put the package name in the sumary of
the bug.

Oh. I opened a new one here:  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93604
months ago.  

This was my first bug report ever, so I wasn't totally sure what to do.
