Package: libglide2
Severity: important

I've recently ugraded an old AMD K6-2 computer from woody to sarge. It
has a Voodoo 2 card that was working on woody. I've recompiled the
device3dfx module for the new kernel.

Every time I start a glide2 program, it gives "Segmentation fault", the
screen goes black and the computer needs to be rebooted. An easy way to
test it is by using the demo programs that comes with the package
glide2-bin. For example, executing this in sarge produces a crash:

 /usr/lib/glide2/bin/test00

Trying to isolate the problem, I've copied the old file
libglide_cvg.so.2.53 from woody libglide2 package
(libglide2-2001.01.26-1.1) over the one installed with sarge, located
on /usr/lib/glide2/libglide_cvg.so.2.53.

When using the old library, everything does work again without
any segmentation fault. It appears to be some problem with recent
libglide2. I can confirm that the problem still exists with libglide2
from testing and unstable.

I can perform tests with other versions if you want.
