Description

Not sure when this crept in but it's still happening as
of 3854.

Start a game, VISIT02 (or play through normally if you
like), then take the first portal from Seven Portals to
the Guardian of Ice. Flip the switch in front of the
pendant, then step on the random blocks to return to
the Seven Portals.

At this point the console starts spewing a ton of
"R_FlatNumforName: <garbage characters> Not Found!"
errors and segfaults.

Backtrace and doomsday.out attached.

It's still happening for me in 3914, and I don't think it's
me this time.

I noticed from your backtrace that you had just loaded a
save game. Can you try this without loading from an existing
save game.

I'm personally not loading any save; that's the automatic
save Hexen makes when I leave the Seven Portals, then
reloads when I attempt to return.

In a similar vein, you can VISIT03 to the Guardian of Ice
from the start, and return to the Sevel Portals with no
problem. But then any attempt to return to Guardian of Ice
will segfault.

Well, part of the problem is this: at several points in
sv_save.c, there's a check like:

if (saveVersion >= 3)
ver = GET_BYTE;

This check seems to always fail, for automatic
level-switching loads at least, because if I comment out the
if statements this problem goes away.

Ah I see what the problem is.

I've commited changes to SVN. Let me know if this fixes the
problem.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks.
