Could you please send your altered classic.xml file.

Also, if after you send a copy of your altered xlassic.xml file, would you
please try and see if this segfault happens also with the original xml file from
wormux-data?

To be honest, wormux's upstream has acknowledged that currently a badly modified
classic.xml file could lead to freezes, infinite rounds/ammo, deadlocks and it
might be a cause for segfaults. All these since the game doesn't really do
validation for the data inclassic.xml.
