Hello, all.
As of late, I've been experiencing crashes in FS2_Open a little more often than usual. The debug build does nothing but throw up an error in the logfile, shown as this thread's name (minus the question mark), each time I run it. The debug build generates the beach ball of doom, but fails to even load the game and crashes, generatig the logfile. Here is my second-latest log, taken from an FS2_Open build I compiled from the latest version of the source code SVN only yesterday.
==========================================================================
DEBUG SPEW: No debug_filter.cfg found, so only general, error, and warning
categories can be shown and no debug_filter.cfg info will be saved.

The above log was taken when the debug build was running with the -nosound flag enabled. The reason for this is that attempting to initialise OpenAL causes the debug build to crash as well, with the same error. For reference, here is a log taken with the -nosound flag disabled:

This is not a new issue; I first encountered this problem while attempting to troubleshoot a crash that happened just as the credits roll of JAD3 began. In a related incident, I was unable to obtain any information on why all non-FS2 Shivan and Ancient craft in ASW1 looked mostly white on my screen because of this same error. My most recent incident was during a replay of WiH's first mission, when the game crashed just as I intercepted the first warhead in the mission. I was also unable to obtain any information on this crash because of this error.
