hi cyril,

"speicherzugriffsfehler" is segfault/SEGV/segmentation violation -
whatever you prefer ;)

i installed supertuxkart on my amd64 sid machine (same version of
supertuxkart) but i couldn't reproduce a segfault. the only strange
thing was supertuxkart said, it creates the config directory in my home
and will read data from some directory in /usr/share/... - and then
exited. the second time i ran supertuxkart it worked just fine.

@marco: have you tried to rename the directory .supertuxkart in your
home directory to something else (e.g. .supertuxkart.bak, please do NOT
delete it, it might become interesting for us!) this will force
supertuxkart to create a new .supertuxkart in your home. if there was
an error in there this might help to track down the issue.

if this doesn't help, strace output and a backtrace may be helpful, but
first things first.

cheers - fuddl
