I'm using the latest official build on Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.
The "r" executable seems to work just fine, but when I use the "d" build, I get a nasty crash, with this in the fs2_open.log:

In IRC some of us were trying to figure out what was going on but didn't really get anywhere..
Not sure what to do.

You have a pilot that has a name longer than 27 characters (which includes spaces).  Seeing as the release build still works, just use that to fix rename the offending pilot name(s).

[Enzo03]

Actually, no, I do NOT have a pilot whose name is longer than 27 characters, at least not as far as their actual name goes.
However, one had exactly 27 characters in its name, and a few came very close.
I went ahead and tried to account for the file extension counting as part of that 27, and the problem appears to be gone now.
Thanks, although I kinda wish I knew why this is a problem for curiosity's sake.

In FSO, filenames are capped to 32 characters. If you include the "." and the extension, you end up with 28 usable characters. It's a limitation we introduced to cut down on memory leaks and overruns.
