Public bug reported:

xonix: cannot reopen high score file
*** glibc detected *** xonix: double free or corruption (fasttop): 
0x0000000002065270 ***

the high score file is /var/cache/xonix/xonix.scores, but its rights are
664 (root/games), so default user (which is not in games group) can
still launch xonix (/usr/games/xonix : 755 root/root) but when access to
the high score is needed, it fails... and crash.

Easy way for fix: chmod 666 on xonix.scores (but maybe not the intended 
behaviour/protection)
