This seems to be caused by Settings::saveSettings(), which shouldn't be
trying to rewrite the settings file. I'll let upstream (who's following
the Debian BTS) fix this up in a future release.

It's not a typical configuration meant for editing by users, but
rather internal game data describing game mechanics, so I rather
placed it under /usr/share with the other data.

But only when running under strace, or does it hang for you as well
when running it normally?
