A user has reported that using globalmenu while playing Freeciv is causing crashes.

See the user report at https://gna.org/bugs/?15786

Can you tell me which version of GlobalMenu you're using ?

Tried to contact the original reporter. Let's see if s/he replies.

can also confirm this issue and removing globalmenu resolves freeciv crash after meeting with diplomats of other nations.

globalmenu version was latest ubuntu version at time of this posting from: https://launchpad.net/~globalmenu-team/+archive/ppa

I can confirm it for freeciv 2.2.3. Here's the output of gdb:

Well, maybe, freeciv is also using menus in some unusual ways, cause those (the menus) stays with the freeciv window, instead of being displayed in global-menu applet. Still the SIGSEGV happens on your "playground"

Hope that helps.

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous comment. The system: Ubuntu Lucid (9.10) with global-menu installed from ppa.
