Same problem here! Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit
Solved using Castor's build!
But the question is... why?? I also recompiled but using my bin the problem persist, and also my bin is 19,7MB instead Castor's bin is 3,7MB!
my config.log in attachment.

Hi Folks, please note the following:

1) We're aware of some significant buffer issues that are starting to crop up as people turn on things like _FORTIFY_SOURCE and other secure functions
2) The config.log isn't massively useful to us - Castor: If you've modified the code, we need to know how in order to figure out what's going wrong
3) We've got an internal push to use some safer functions and profiling, however we're stuck on one or two minor cross-platform details, which we're sorting out at present
4) As of this morning, we have available some new internal allocators which will help resolve some of these problems, and hopefully remove some (minor) limits in the system
5) We're trying to avoid just upping arbitrary internal limits in favour of understanding how the problem has occurred, what it's potential ramifications are and how it has escaped detection until the present - if the limit breaks now, it may break in the future.
6) As on any code base, any feedback from users is highly welcomed, highly encouraged and highly valued

If you've got any questions with regards to the source, feel free to PM myself, Goober5000, karajorma, chief1983 or anyone else you see lurking around the SCP boards with an SCP badge.

Thankyou for playing and reporting these problems - we intend to address them in the 3.6.11 branch.
STRONGTEA. Why can't the x86 be sane?

I just removed the debug symbols with the "strip" command to make the download smaller.

This one was a fresh SVN checkout of r5395. After the checkout I only ran autogen.sh (with the -march variable) and compiled+stripped.

I'm testing FreeSpace with FSport on Debian Squeeze 64 bit. It works with the last release of FSopen (3.6.10 final). I'll try if on Ubuntu is still necessary to use Castor's build,

The 3.6.10 final build was not build on Ubuntu, but on Debian, so it should be more compatible.
