DDD 3.3 crashes

[Martin Bickel]

Hi,

I've just installed the new DDD. It crashed four times this afternoon
with a segmentation fault. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce any crashes.
They seem to be quite random and caused by memory corruption. I've taken
a look at the backtrace on several occasions but couln't find any
trivial errors like NULL-pointer accesses.

The previous versions of DDD which I've used over the time were just as
unstable, but I didn't report it until now because those versions where
not up to date then.

I'm only debugging a single project with DDD: ASC, a free strategy game
that I'm developing, available from www.asc-hq.org. So I guess the
problems has something to do with ASC.

I'm running Suse Linux 7.0. A "ddd --check-configuration" didn't reveal
any problems.
Here is the DDD configuration:
