I'm not sure how to classify this bug. It is repeatable.
System: iBook G4, 1.42 GHz, 1 GB memory. Video card is Radeon Mobility 9550.
Symptoms: If ufo is run with +set developer 1, and at full priority, then the user interface of the mac will lock up. The mouse moves (but clicks have no effect), and the sound effects continue.
If ufo is run at nice +19, things "work".
If ufo is run without setting developer, things "work".
However, "work" is odd -- at the initial menu, I get 50 FPS; after selecting single player, and skirmish, there is a delay, then about 25 FPS for a while, and then 50 fps.
Starting africa now gives me a map with "good" graphics. The men are all solid white (no textures, I believe). To the left edge of the map is what I'm guessing is the ufo, also white. The buildings and ground are all fine.
FPS, meanwhile, starts at about 5. When I click on a soldier number (1-8 on the top), it drops to around .3 fps. Yes, point three. It will generally stabilize around 1 fps, although it sometimes gets back up to 5. If I move the map around, it drops back again.
