Today I gave savegames another try. The game now handles the situation where a map or a techtree is missing (a situation you may well run into when sharing savegames between players) graciously, displaying a message box without crashing. That's pretty nice from a user perspective.
This does not yet work for missing tilesets, though. If a
tileset given in a savegame is not available, the game will segfault immediately. Its own segfault handler doesn't get started in this case.
My dev_rungame script runs 'megaglest' (the binary) without further arguments, then, if the game crashes with a core file, it runs
gdb -q -n -ex "thread apply all bt full" -batch megaglest core, i.e. a full thread backtrace. The output below is cut off,
please find the entire output here.

Please have a look at the second line of the output, too:
megaglest: /home/tomreyn/SCM/megaglest-trunk/source/shared_lib/sources/util/randomgen.cpp:51: int Shared::Util::RandomGen::randRange(int, int): Assertion `min<=max' failed.This also looks wrong to me and may or may not be related.
