Simply try to load the attached savegame for a
segfault. console log and gdb backtrace follows. Also,
the savegame seems suspiciously small. Maybe it
actually is a bug in the save game function? Still,
would be nice if it didn't segfault.

savegame causing the segfault.

From discussion on the forums with the bug submitter it is
believed this is likely to have been caused caused by an
out-of-disk space condition while saving the game
(corrupting the save-game file so subsequent loads fail).

This in-itself would be a bug - insufficient checking in the
save-game routine for free disk-space (albiet rather minor I
would say).

In my previous comment I meant to say:
