Package: flightgear
Version: 0.9.10-2
Severity: important

Hello,

When trying to start flightgear, the spashscreen starts, a few things
are loaded, but that happens in an unacceptable timeframe. I have left
the game running since about 20:00 yesterday until a half an hour ago,
but the game generated that much harddrive activity that the system was
totaly unresponsive (huge lags) and had to stop the whole computer via
hardware methods.

I don't know what is the issue with this game, but this is unacceptable
mostly because once started there is almost no way to stop it nicely.
OTOH, it would be nice to be able to use the damn thing :-)

I think this bug could be classified as a security bug (DoS), but I will
leave others to judge that.
