Default [FIXED] Linux Startup Crash

Every time I start up Dom3 it hangs with:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0b975ad0 ***
Before applying the patch the game crashed, didn't eve show a screen. After the patch it hangs at the 'Please wait' phase. If I Ctrl+C it from the konsole it hangs the whole system. Killall -9 dom3 works fine.

Any suggestions?

Code:

System specs (copy pasting from various commands):
Slackware 11.0
Glibc : 2.6.3 (slackpackage: 2.6.3-i486-6)
Kernel : 2.6.18 (stock kernel)
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600SE Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6065 (8.29.6)
model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
256Mb Ram

Default Re: Linux Startup Crash

Try starting it without sound for a start. Try without any video (as a text server)... that sort of thing. Maybe try strace.

Not much else that can be done with proprietary software :/

Thx. I experimented around with the sound and found that the problem is (was) Arts. After brutally (kill -9)-ing the Arts daemon sending it back to the pits, the game runs perfectly with the option -o .
The game defaulted to arts output it seems and that caused the hang.

Thx again.
