Recently when trying to run glob2 (games-strategy/glob2-0.9.1) over the network I find it crashes or locks up. Just to be clear - this is the first time I've tried to run this version of glob2 over the network. The only clue I have is if I run glob2 from the command line I get the following message after the hosting glob2 blows up: glob2: /usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:315: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = YOGGame]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. This happens when the other player attempts to connect to the host machine - the other player's glob2 doesn't crash, but reports that the host is not ready. I updated boost from 1.33.1 to 1.34.1 to see if that helps, but it didn't. (On the machine that builds with gcc-4.2.2. The other machine is still on gcc-4.1.2). When I downgraded to 0.8.23 at both ends it worked fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.On machine A: start glob2, click LAN game, host a game, say Migration 2.On Machine B: start glob2, click LAN game, join a game 3.Notice on machine B game is not in list, so enter hosting machine name in box, then enter. Actual Results: Machine A bails out, reporting glob2: /usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:315: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = YOGGame]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. Expected Results: At step 3 the hosted game should be in the list of games to join. Network play should start when the game selected.

Initially discussed in forum topic http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4658090.html#4658090
should be better in 0.9.2
