Hi,

i386 CVS build test here....

It crashes after running for about 10 seconds in release mode
("Received signal 11, exiting....") but its fine with debug mode...
any ideas, or should I delve further?

Not sure, is that 10 seconds of running? or ten seconds of playing a
game?

Have you tried recompiling? Sounds like removing the debugging
symbols/breaks is killing something. Im not really sure, i haven't but
glanced at the code.

Well, if debug works, why not use it? The only difference should be a
slightly larger and slightly (if any) slower binary.

Isn't the point to weed out the bugs?

10 seconds of running.

I'll delve further, since it doesn't seem to be a known matter :-)

Thanks for investigating... GDB is your friend here:

bash> gdb quake2
gdb> run

<wait for crash>

gdb> list

should tell you where the problem occured...

Good luck!
