  This (and a separate segfault which happens when attempting to start a

- been synced to Ubuntu Artful so the issue should be resolved for future

+ [Impact]
+ doomsday 1.15.8-3 on Ubuntu 17.04 currently fails to start.
+ 
+ [Testcase]
+ This is twofold due to the two segfaults.
+ 
+ (As a prerequisite, install a package with game data, for instance 
`doom-wad-shareware`)
+ 1. Run `doomsday` to start the "game launcher"
+ Test A: the program should not segfault.
+ 2. From the list of available games, pick one, for instance DOOM shareware.
+ 3. Start a new game of Doom (Press escape, then select New game -> Single 
player -> Knee-deep in the dead -> Hurt me plenty.
+ Test B: the game should not segfault.
+ 4. Run around in the game for a while.
+ 5. Have fun :)
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The program is currently crashing instead of starting, so I'm not sure how 
much it can regress. 
+
