I'll pass this upstream and let you know if I hear anything.  Thanks for
including the backtrace; that will help immensely.

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2006-05-26 03:40:29 UTC
Upstream is working on a fix which I will backport to FC5.  (An update would
most likely break your saves.)

However, to help narrow things down a bit, is there a possibility that you were
attempting to attack on a diagonal?

Comment 4 Jerry James 2006-06-07 19:17:06 UTC
Sorry to be so slow replying.  I was traveling.  Yes, I believe I did attempt to
attack on a diagonal.  Apparently that's not allowed. :-)

As for an update breaking my saves, I wouldn't worry about that.  For one thing,
the game has been in Fedora Extras for such a short time that there probably
aren't a lot of people with save files yet.  For another, if there is a new
version in the works with a different save file format, I prefer to move to it
sooner rather than later to get the migration pain over with.  Waiting will only
increase the number of people affected.

Thanks for your help.

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2006-06-08 14:29:58 UTC
Yes, attacking on a diagonal in the wilderness doesn't work at present because
the combat map generator doesn't handle that case.  I have added a fix that
prevents such attacks and pushed new builds; they should make it out to the
mirrors by tomorrow.  If you find you still have this issue, please let me know.
