Core dump when loading old save game

[Vincent Cheng]

Forwarded from Debian bug tracker ​#733613.

I'm unsure if this is an already known issue or not, but it looks like 0ad crashes with a core dump if you try to load an old save game:

I thought 0ad would instead display a message saying something about save game incompatibility (IIRC from an older version). Not sure if the current behaviour is intended or not.

Attached with this ticket are my log files in ~/.config/0ad/logs (although I don't see any crash logs inside), and the old save game I used to try to reproduce this bug report.

With old, you mean stored with a previous version?

Oh, yes, apparently you do.
