I'd almost recommend sending this out to https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ , but a quick IRC poll turned up users that aren't seeing gataxx crash. (Ubuntu is a new debian-based distro that does stuff like disable the root user. The patchfile seems unexciting: http://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome- games/gnome-games_2.8.0-0ubuntu1.diff.gz )
I have two ubuntu crash reports now (from opposite ends of the program). Ubuntu does apply any strange patches, but I think they use some unusual (but not unreasonable) options for gcc. I think this is where I'll have to look.
Sebastien Bacher posted another Ubuntu gataxx crash, claim he's only seeing it on amd64. I'll try to check it out on this platform sometime, probably this month. https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2345

Suspect comment in gtkgridboard.c: /* FIXME improve this: sizeof(gint *) != sizeof(gint) */
Created attachment 32603 [details] [review] proposed fix The second part of the array is int, so we need to cast to int* _before_ incrementing.
Yeah Marco, that would be the problem. Fixed in both 2.8 and 2.9.
This bug is being reassigned to the "general" component so we can close the gataxx bugzilla component. Apologies for the mass email!
