crash while modifying line

[mirror176]

  Leading up to this I was trying to add a convoy to a line I created a while ago and was going to add more stops to it after. I had clicked a couple times on the stable to open it to create convoy additions without it opening (think it was magnifying glass but I think I was zoomed out and my eyes don't see small things well). I think I had the line open for editing but was not in the mode to add stops. As I was creating and reviewing things I noticed a couple of depot stop entries appear later (not at the time of clicking on it). When I tried to remove them is when it locked up. I was nearly done adding a large set of stops, routes and convoys for passenger/mail travel for the start of the game in a mostly paused state. Was Jan 30 1750 if I recall.
  I suspect I will need to build a debuggable version and track down exact steps for such bug to be found and fixed but maybe my vague recollection of what I was up to and the terminal output may be helpful. I have an almost 4G core file created if someone is interested but it occurred on my FreeBSD system I have been porting the game to (build should be easy with default FreeBSD install + FreeBSD ports tree + my port files of Simutrans Extended + Pak128.Britian-Ex).

Thank you for the bug report. It sounds very frustrating.  I can't diagnose the bug but I will try to answer the questions that I can.

Are bug reports preferred here instead of github?

Yes, definitely. May I apologize on behalf of the Extended community for the very slow response to your bug report. We are all hobbyists and recently the project lead has been busy with his physical model railway. As you guessed, you are likely to have to reproduce the bug if you want to entice someone to make progress with it.

I have an almost 4G core file created if someone is interested but it occurred on my FreeBSD system I have been porting the game to (build should be easy with default FreeBSD install + FreeBSD ports tree + my port files of Simutrans Extended + Pak128.Britian-Ex).

This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone running Extended on BSD. So while I can't predict others' decisions, IHMO it's extremely unlikely that anyone is going to read that core file. You might as well reclaim the disk space!
