Hello all,

Just noticed that, while Death Rally runs great on dosbox (better than it ever did on my old PC back in the day 😉), it segfaults every 5-10 minutes during gameplay. This is on a Linux host. After the segfault, the host PC requires a reboot to restore the screen resolution 🙁

This is weird, because dosbox on Windows7 does not crash.

If anyone is willing/capable of investigating this and would like to have a coredump, I'd be happy to provide it.

Just to rule out the obvious: do any other applications segfault in DOSBox on your Linux host?

Hello,
there is some problem with multithreaded FPU emulation on Linux hosts. The core=normal is a workaround to this issue.
