Experience
Hi everyone. I'm a long-time DOSBox user (on Windows, the BeOS and for the last three years on OSX). It has always worked superbly... and then I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

The problem
DOSBox consistently crashes when switching to fullscreen mode.

Steps taken and reproducibility
Reinstalled DOSBox, deleted the config file. I've found it will crash both with alt+enter and with "fullscreen=true" in the config file. It always crashes. The crash report is included as an attachment to this post.

Trivia
I have a similar problem with OpenTTD, except it doesn't crash but just blacks out the screen. DOSBox's gameplay in non-fullscreen mode works as it should.

Hardware
Specifics of my system are at the bottom of the crash report attached. In short: mid-2009 13" MBP 2.26 GHz Core2Duo, recently upgraded with 8 GB 1066 mHz DDR3 SDRAM and a 256 GB SSD. GeForce 9400M @ 1280x800. Other specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP541 (see "13-inch configurations").

Help me?
I hope you can help and shed light on what causes this. Thanks in advance. 😉

Download the SVN built in my signature. The problem is SDL which dosbox uses and that was fixed in SDL 1.2.15 which my built uses.
Enjoy 😉
