Package: fs-uae
Version: 2.4.1+ds-2
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

fs-uae segfaults with the nvidia driver version 340.46-6

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

This is to my best knowledge a known nvidia bug. A workaround is to start 
fs-uae with "__GL_WRITE_TEXT_SECTION=0 fs-uae"

   * What was the outcome of this action?

fs-uae appears to work fine with the woraround.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expect a descriptive error message instead of a segfault.
Since Jessie is now in freeze, please consider adding a workaround in the 
fs-uae package to make it useable for more people, at least until the nvidia 
driver is fixed.

nVidia has identified the problem now and it turns out to actually be a
bug in fs-uae [1]. I will look into it and try to provide an updated
version for Jessie which includes the fix.

I can not guarantee anything yet as I need to talk with the release
team first and ask them for an updated version to be unblocked.

As there is a fix for the actual bug now, I will close this bug which
asks for a work-around.

Cheers,
Adrian
